THANKS Nina and Dimitri for the apartment. The communication was prompt and smooth. Great hosts (nice and friendly), very responsive, helpful and accommodating.

The apartment is GREAT. Not in a busy street..quite residential and close to train stations..if you catch the train it's 2 euros per trip no matter how close/far..quite handy actually. But I walked to most places such as to La Rambla and Plaza Cataluna which took probably around 15-20 mins. The apartment almost made me feel like home after travelling in the last 3 months.

Nearly all appliances were new. I must be the first to use the coffee machine (still in the plastic wrap). The tea pot also looked new. Requested an ironing board and iron in the afternoon when I left the apartment, both items were delivered to me within the same day (and they were new too). Wireless internet was available however you will need to be in certain areas to have coverage (found the strongest signal in main bedroom, some parts of the living room), once you're connected..it's fast.

Found tea, coffees, sugar, cleaning products (not just for the dishwasher but also for washing machine..the washing detergent and even the softener! oh...if you didn't bring shampoo or bath gel, there were some too!..bet you would have brought your own anyway).

Plenty of space and windows (for fresh air flow). The main bedroom is spacious. The second bedroom is small for a single person. There is also a sofa bed in the living room. The bathroom is quite big. Nice shower pressure with good hot water flow!

Apartment is located on 2nd floor (1 flight of stairs..wide and shallow..so easy to go up and down or you can use the lift).
Above them all, originally I was booked for 3 nights but on the last day I changed my mind to spend another day in Barcelona and was hoping Nina and Dimitri would be able to extend my stay. The same apartment was not available as it has been booked. However, I was lucky that Nina and Dimitri were able to accommodate, they gave me the apartment next door (same floor..making it so easy to move). It's a bigger apartment with almost everything new and a very reasonable price adjustment.

Last but not least, on the day I checked out, Dimitri came to meet me around 11am. Told him that I need to go to collect a car hire and would like to leave my bags in the apartment until 1pm. He was very accomodating and allowed me to leave the bags until I returned at 1pm.

I would highly recommend this place and definitely will stay there again if I visit Barcelona.

Enjoy the stay!
