Manual was a great host and although he was away when we travelled to Barcelona his Daughter Maria was there to greet us, friendly, professional and showed us around. The apartment is great, private and the building has so much character. Taxi into town for under 10 euros, bakery opposite and everything you could need in the nice neighborhood. We would stay again! Thanks Manual for being flexible;e and welcoming us into your home, you are welcome to visit out home in Melbourne anytime :-) Clair & Simon.
