Jose is a wonderful and very welcoming host. He met as at the apartment, gave us tips and some pointers about Barcelona and getting around. The apartment is newly renovated, modern, well equiped and clean. The neighborhood is safe, well connected with public transportation. There are quite a few cafes downstairs making it exceptionally easy to get breakfast. One thing to remember if you have a car during your visit, is that there is no dedicated parking space. Although there are lots of free parking spots around the block, finding one may prove difficult and sometimes impossible.
