First && foremost , I cannot think of a better location in Barcelona on Passeig de Gracia ... With spectacular views from living room, dining room, & bedroom(2) with balconies diagonal from Gaudi masterpiece Casa Batillo.
While we never met Josep in person, he was very responsive by text / email & his city recommendations led us to one of the best pastry shops ever (Baluard)---His assistant Meritcell was very accommodating & arrived early to assist us with check in & review of house .
