Hans was very friendly, helpful and welcoming - he sent good accurate information about how to reach the flat well ahead of our trip and gave us some excellent tips about places to visit. He kindly waited 30 minutes for us to arrive, as our flight was delayed. The description of the flat was accurate and we were really pleased to find that it was clean, comfortable and that the rooms were bigger than in many central-city flats. The kitchen has all we needed and the WiFi was excellent. There was plenty of hot water for showers; we didn't need to use the heating as the weather was so warm (even in February!)
We felt we were properly 'living' like the locals in Barcelona, as the flat is in a really nice residential area. The location was ideal for us - very close to Sagrada Familia, which we could see from the windows - so we were there early in the morning on the day we wanted to visit - and also an easy journey by metro to all of the old town areas, the Olympic park and many other places. The local bakeries and mini supermarkets were perfect for our needs. The local restaurant Hans recommended was excellent.
