Sergi picked us up from the bus station and offered a lot of helpful advice on arrival. Cute little presents, useful information, maps and even restaurant cards - Sergi made us feel at home from the first minute! He is a lovely guy and speaks English fluently, he was accessible at all times and helped us throughout our stay. For example we needed to print our boarding passes for our flight so he provided his laptop and printer, and got up early especially to make sure we could work it okay and to see us off.

The apartment is pretty, immaculately clean and tidy, everything was just as described. The bed was soft and comfy, ideal for two people. Very fast wireless internet too. Needless to say, the apartment had all the necessities and Sergi made sure there was nothing for us to worry about. There also was a cute little balcony where we had breakfast that Sergi left us in the mornings- a fabulous selection, including homemade bread some days!

The location of the flat was perfect! In the heart of El Raval, basically next door to the beautiful museum of contemporary art (MACBA). 2 minutes walk to the nearest metro, it was really easy to get everywhere and there are many good places for coffee and dinner in the neighbourhood.

Overall, we had a great time in Barcelona! We highly recommend the apartment we stayed in, we couldn't have expected it to be so good. Excellent value. Very importantly, Sergi is an amazing host and a very cool and knowledgeable guy that will offer all the help you need, have a friendly chat with you or just leave you to your own devices if you wish. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100. Special bonus points for The Flaming Lips CD in his music collection.
