Rodrigo was a brilliant host who welcomed us warmly and gave excellent instructions. He greeted us and called to book us a taxi straight away for when we were leaving which was very nice of him, and he responded very quickly to all inquiries. He told us all about the local bars, attractions and how to get there by walking and public transit....which were all very accurate. The location is incredible and offers an authentic experience of Barcelona. It's a thirty minute walk to the beach, and an easy subway ride to Sagrada Familia. It's quick walk to La Rambla as well- the location is the beauty of the apartment. The apartment itself is clean, modern, but it does get very hot in the summer, but Rodrigo offers two fans so it becomes bearable. I'd stay here again without a doubt.
