We had a wonderful time staying at Gerard’s apartment in Barcelona! We didn’t really know the city before coming but lucked out because this apartment is SO central. Literally across the street from an entrance into the gothic quarter. Walking distance from all the shopping, la Sagrada Familia, the beach, etc. The apartment itself is nice, clean, very well equipped with towels. It has a Nespresso which was great. There is an elevator going up and down, we ended up walking down the stairs and taking the elevator up every time. Gerard was kind, hospitable, quick to reply. TLDR; The stay overall was very easy, well located, no stress.
