We texted Antoni when we were on our way to his apartment and he arrived a few minutes after us, with a big smile and a warm welcome. We had our car with us and he had arranged parking in a secure underground car park, and it felt very secure, although it was 10 minutes walk so if guests have a lot of luggage I would advise dropping bags off first. Also, if driving, note that the roads in the area are one way!

The apartment was as described, comfortable and practical, equipped with everything we needed, good wifi and plenty of hot water. The roof terrace made it for us and we ate every meal outside, which in turn meant we could leave the sofa bed out in the sitting/dining room, making like much easier.

The location was great - an easy walk to Montjuic for cable car and magic fountain. Only 5 mins to Parallel metro, which seemed to be the best line for the touristy things we wanted to do, and 20 mins max walk to La Rambla. Antoni recommended the next road (Carrer de Blai) for good tapas - it was cheap but it felt a bit touristy and not great quality, and there were hardly any children about in the evening so the atmosphere was a bit grown up for our family.

Antoni was so welcoming, we really appreciated his friendliness and would visit his apartment again.
