Staying here was absolutely wonderful. The apartment has an excellent location with good connections to the metro and trains, but I enjoyed walking everywhere--just minutes to the Barri Gòtic. The apartment is nicely furnished, but the highlight is the balcony with a wonderful view towards Sagrada Familia. Breakfast on the balcony as the sun comes up is unforgettable. Francesco is very friendly and an excellent host. Before my arrival, he sent information about activities in Barcelona and instructions for reaching the apartment. On arrival he had several suggestions for restaurants, visiting tourist sights, safety for tourists, etc. I would love to stay here again in the near future.
