Well, put simply the stay in José's apartment was brilliant. From the time we landed at the airport, Jose was in touch with us ensuring the timing was perfect when we arrived. He was charming, informative and pleasure to deal with. The apartment was exactly as the photos detailed and even more. All the creature comforts were available and it is in a very secure building in a very safe neighborhood with great neighbors; something i looked for as i was travelling with my mother. It is located a 10 minute walk from the famous sagrada familia and la ramblas st with great cafés near by. Jose was constantly assisting us by providing information on restaurants (great tapas place nearby), fleminco shows and others. If you are planning a trip to Barcelona and would like to stay at a great apartment, in a central spot with an awesome host, i definitely recommend José's place and my mum who is particular also gives 5 stars. Thanks again,José. Definitely a return client if ever I visit Barcelona.
