Marc's place is in a very convenient location -- right next to the Sant Antoni Market, and just a couple blocks from the L2 and L3 Metro stations. It's a very vibrant city neighborhood. There were small markets, restaurants, bakeries, and bars, on every block of every street! We appreciate that Marc let us drop off our luggage hours before check-in, since we arrived in Barcelona in the early morning.
The apartment is typically Spanish, with tile floors and wood beam ceilings, but with updated appliances. The A/C units worked well. The Nespresso coffee maker was excellent. (You can buy pods at any of the small nearby markets.) The juicer worked well, as did the oven and microwave. The washer/dryer unit is convenient, but very small and slow. A small load of laundry takes about 5-6 hours to wash and dry. We found a manual online that explained how to do a dry-only cycle or to specify dryness. (We found several other appliance manuals in a drawer under the stove.)
