Andreu is a wonderful host and a wonderful person. The apartment was as pictured in the listing. It was quiet, clean, comfortable, and it is in a great location. There is a beautiful community park right outside the front door.
The neighborhood was safe, friendly, well lighted at night, and had everything we could want or need.
Within walking distance are a central market, fresh fruit and vegetable stalls, restaurants, banks, clothing stores, bakeries, a pharmacy and two metro stops. It is also a few minutes walk to/from the train/bus/taxi station.
I would highly recommend Andreu's apartment to anyone visiting Barcelona.
