My husband and our three children (ages 20, 18, and 14) stayed at Praxedes' apartment recently and were very pleased with how helpful he and his friend Monica were. We were able to drop our luggage off at the apartment early and return later to check in. Monica gave us an overview of Barcelona sites and restaurant recommendations and presented us with a bottle of champagne, which was a nice touch. The apartment was as pictured in the photos. Air conditioning works very well; there's a meter on the wall that takes 1 euro coins (3 hours per euro). You don't have to use all 3 hours at once - the meter can be paused and restarted. There isn't a lot of space to unpack your clothes but we were fine stacking clothing on a shelf in each bedroom and leaving some things packed. The building is very quiet. Metro and bus stops are right down the street. Praxedes messaged me to advise us on transportation from/to the airport and went out of his way to keep us updated on the security strike at the Barcelona airport that has been causing slow- downs. Monica arranged a taxi to arrive at 3:30 am to take us to the airport at the end of our stay and it was right on time.
