Mario and his place are fantastic! His loft is so unique which is what we look for when we travel. Mario met us at the apartment, even carried my suitcase up the stairs for me! He was in constant communication with us and had the best restaurant recommendations. We ate at almost all of them and they were all superb. This is the only place we stayed in on this trip that had HVAC which was nice since we love to have our room cold to sleep. When we didn't run the A/C we could open the front windows and the back windows and had an incredible cross breeze. The loft is very centrally located and we walked to almost everything. All around this was the perfect place in the perfect location with the perfect host. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. We will book Mario's place again for our next visit to Barcelona!
