Ricard’s place was in a safe and quiet neighborhood that offered all the comforts of home. The cooling system worked well and was wonderful to come back to after several warm days exploring the city. The metro’s convenient location allowed quick and easy access to all of Barcelona when on a schedule and scenic, leisurely strolls when we had more time. There were several good and inexpensive places to eat at street level as well as a pharmacy, market and nail salon. Communication with and by Ricard from the time of reservation to checkout was prompt and excellent. I would definitely consider staying there again if we return to Barcelona and would recommend it to friends and family.
