Francesc was a very welcoming host. He picked us up from the local station and gave us ample information about the area, local transport system and more. The st Andreu area is quiet and laid back. There are a great selection of bars, cafe and shops outside the front door and the nearest metro station is a 5 minute walk. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Placa Catalunya on a straight through metro line. The flat was exactly as listed on the Airbnb site and was immaculately clean and very quiet for a city location. Although there is no air conditioning in the flat, there is a fan in each room which helps a lot. 5 of us stayed in the flat and it was great. I would definitely stay again.Fransesc even took care of our bags until we left early evening. This was above and beyond what we had expected - he was a very attentive and caring host.
