I felt most welcome, event though I arrived later than expected due to a flight delay. I found the Garcia area very alive, but preserved from downtown tourist inferno. Plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and nearby a wanderful old market. Closed to two metro lines taking you rapidly to the main points of interest. The flat was large, comfortable, decorated with unusual good taste. All the equipments, starting with the large, moderne kitchen, were new and efficient. In simple words, a perfect flat for my stay in Barcelona. If I should mention a drowback, which I only do to emphasize the overall top note, the apartment may be a bit noisy because of the young crowd in the street. Bat that is Barcelona!
