Francisco is a wonderful host who provided top-notch recommendations for authentic local restaurants and a few hidden gems. He was incredibly helpful to let me check in early and helped me carry my bags up the steep and narrow stairs. Be warned that there is no elevator and it’s on the top floor so you’ll get a workout, but once you’re upstairs the views from the private deck overlooking La Lonja and the tile roofs of the medieval city are worth every step. And so serene. You’re in the heart of the action and steps from the culinary mecca that is the Central Mercat, yet the apartment overlooks a quiet square (no cars) so the only sounds you’ll hear are church bells. If you can manage the stairs I highly recommend making this your birds-nest oasis in the old city!
