Manel was the perfect host and his apartment was in a great location and extremely clean and stylish. Lots of great food, grocery, and transportation nearby.
Manel met us at the apartment and showed us how to use the keys, elevator, TV, etc and then spent time explaining the layout of the city and which places to avoid. He gave us great restaurant and tourist tips only a local would know.
The apartment is in a very safe area. Barcelona is insanely clean. We loved all of Manel's tips and would absolutely stay in his apartment again. If were able to visit Spain again we are definitely coming back to Barcelona and Manel's home.
Many thanks for your hospitality, Manel!
