my host was fantastic , very friendly and welcoming. apartment was very clean , modern with a touch of spainish charm. it is in the best location in barcalona, so close to everything , saved loads on travel. i was travelling with my 4 kids and they loved it , restauants shops , mc donalds and sports shops all within a two minute walk. a good enough distance away from squre not to be noisy , so sleep no probs. will use when returning next year, also took us to airport so no stress in the morning , great
