I have spent a couple of weeks at Ras' place while looking for an apartment in Barcelona. He is a very welcoming and kind host, who wants you to feel at home. We had several pleasant conversations at dinner time and he helped me out with my big suitcases. The room is not very spacious but there's a nice living room with view on Tibidabo to make up for it. Just be aware that the apartment is on the 5th floor without elevator. I didn't mind a bit of exercise, but you should consider that if you have problems with stairs. Thanks Ras!
