Agus met us at the apartment. He made suggestions about restaurants, things to do/see and had lots of brochures and maps. He outlined what we might do each day we were in Barcelona. Very helpful.

The apartment was as advertised--very attractive, and everything worked. Great shower, washer, dishwasher, well-equipped kitchen though we couldn't figure out how to work what looked like a great high-tech coffee-maker.

The apartment was very clean, light and airy. The only surprise was that the second bedroom was miniscule and had no windows.

I had selected the location without knowing a lot about public transportation. We lucked out being near a major transportation hub, Plaza Espana. The neighborhood behind the building was quiet and didn't feel at all touristy. We were able to find grocery stores, a pharmacy, and even an internet cafe!

Having some basic groceries in the kitchen when we arrived was a big help. Thanks.
