We obtained the keys with no problems. The apartment was clean and large and well decorated. It was kind of our host to leave us beer, wine and treats. I enjoyed some of the beers...thanks. He was very contactable and responded quickly with helpful information.. Having basics in the kitchen such as oil, coffee, tea and herbs was great and he had all the utensils we needed there. The pool looked lovely but we were too busy to visit it. This was a great base for exploring Barcelona. Plenty of transport options. Would definitely recommend staying here if you have a few days in Barcelona.
