Flavio is a very prompt and proactive host; he responds to messages quickly, and is extremely thorough in pertinent details, tips, and suggestions. He told us several options for arriving to the apartment from the airport, he provided a map of the area with recommendations for food, entertainment, and transportation options. The apartment was clean and tidy, great for a weekend in Barcelona. The location is also convenient, within a 25 minute walk from the beach, right off of Las Ramblas, and several supermarkets on the street. Be warned, the apartment being on the fourth floor brings several sets of stairs; not overly difficult, just not fun. It also seemed relatively safe, with a 6-bolt lock on the door and bars on the windows (not that it was a bad/sketchy area, but you can never be too safe in a big city!) Would definitely recommend staying here, and would definitely book again if ever coming to Barcelona! Thank you, Flavio!
