My friends and I had a fantastic time staying at Chillax while visiting Barcelona. Frank emailed say hello the on the same day I booked the apartment, and he was a wonderful host throughout our stay. When we arrived on a Monday, he was able to meet us a couple hours earlier than the usual 3:00 p.m. check in time. He gave us an expedient tour of the place, and answered all the questions we had about the apartment, getting around, best local eats, wifi access, etc. The apartment itself is clean (to an immaculate degree), spacious and cool (air conditioning was an amazing/much appreciated amenity since we were there in mid-July). The black out shades were a nice plus, especially for me, as I was still jet-lagged after traveling from California. There is a supermarket a block away, so we were able to prepare breakfast. Also, the apartment's two bathrooms made getting ready with three girls much easier. Frank leaves a little booklet with important information about the apartment -- instructions, wifi password, emergency contact #s -- on the kitchen table, and it proved to be a useful reference. Halfway through our stay, he also checked in with us via email to make sure we were OK. As for the apartment location -- it's within walking distance of La Rambla, El Barri Gotic, the University of Barcelona, La Barcelonata, etc. We found it to be very central and even if you tire of walking, cabs fare will only set you back $7-10. During our stay my friends and I ate at some fantastic places. Arume and Brunch&Cake are within 5-10 minutes (walking) from Chillax. Highly recommended.

Thanks for you hospitality, Frank! We hope to visit Barcelona again someday.
