In one word, Jordi was AMAZING! My sister ended up staying alone at his place and he took her to the beach on motorbike, was an excellent conversationalist and a delight to be around. He had lots of suggestions and tips on where to go in Barcelona and how to get away from the more touristy sites. His apartment was also amazingly beautiful and large and the location was excellent. The elevator was an added bonus. If you are going to Barcelona, then I definitely recommend staying with Jordi!
