Logement très bien situé dans la ville, cependant bâtiment très bruyant. Pas de vraie fenêtre qui coupe du bruit, et comme elle donnait dans la cage d'escaliers on entendait absolument tout et c'était pas super. La literie est aussi à revoir..
Conseil pour se garer il vaut mieux choisir un parking privé et surveillé car problèmes de vitre cassée et de vol d'affaires dans la voiture suite aux conseils de parking de notre hôte..
Séjour bien pour les visites mais on en gardera pas un bon souvenir.
Mais cependant un hôte très gentil et très accueillant :)Host reply
Malheureusement, pour économiser de l'argent, ils n'ont pas payé pour le parking. Ils ont laissé des vestes dans la voiture, c'est pourquoi ils ont cassé leurs lunettes, très intelligents ils ne le sont pas, mais globalement ils n'étaient pas très gentils, plutôt amers, je ne les recommande pas

The apartment is nice and small just like the pictures show, but the cleanliness was not as good as you would expect (the kitchen seemed hardly cleaned, the bathroom was at times smelling - I presume because someone living in the apartment was standing whilst using the toilet - ). If you choose the rooms because you want to use the kitchen a lot, I'd advise choosing a different location. Firstly because the oven was stuffed with pans so that wasn't an option, secondly as I mentioned it didn't seem super clean and thirdly because they were often in the kitchen, sometimes until late at night/ later than midnight. Another unfortunate thing was the guitar lesson, for which we were not prepared he would have in the kitchen. This guitar lesson was supposed to last an hour, but it actually lasted 1h40min. But if you are only in Barcelona for a few days, you want to experience a less "touristy" place and you are not planning on using anything else than the bedroom, then this place is for you! Plus Diego is very kind.

This girls have not been very clean. They leaved the garbage in the room. In other hand, In Spain, the time to eat is later than in other places in the Europe. We use to ask to the people, if we dont know something and try to talk with the people around. I believe, they came here paying a very cheap, clean and beautiful place, but waiting for a standard 5 stars hotel!!

Diego was not at home, but his son Sebastian was a good host and was very kind during our stay. It is a simple room but its okay. My daughter and me had a really nice time. Shops are nearby (the shop just in front of the appartment has a really nice owner). Bicycles can be rent nearby (budgetbikes).

We've been very pleased with our choice, as Diego's a very pleasant, easy-going, careful host. The flat is perfectly located, a nice 10 min walk from the city centre, through a very authentic neighbourhood.
The room is quite tiny and essential, but we hardly spent any time in there, so it worked out really well. The flat and the building are full of character and life. We enjoyed chatting to Diego and meeting his children; Diego was helpful, very friendly and nice (e.g. he shared some of his food with us, offered us hot drinks, etc.)
I would definitely go back as well as recommend Diego's flat to friends.
Muchas gracias, Diego!
