The apartment was charming in a real Barcelona neighborhood. Diego has added custom tile and wood cabinets, its updated with modern bathroom and kitchen appliances. It has unique lightning. It overlooked the Plaça which was the center for the neighborhood. The Plaça has cafes, bars and restaurants, seating outside and lots of excitement. Diego was the perfect host he reviewed everything in the apartment, how to run the appliances, shutters, lights and and keys. Then he showed us a list of restaurant and cafes, maps to get there and reviews. We asked him for specific types of events and he was very helpful. He was very personable and a great attentive host. He checked with us later to see if we needed anything. It is located close to another strip of restaurants, bars and cafes with outdoor seating. Its location is within walking distance to lots of sights and the La Ramblas. I would definitely stay here again.
