Francesca herself was out of town for business so she had her friend Mauritzio let us in when we got there. Our flight was a bit late and we had to wait for our luggage and lots of stuff but he was nice enough to wait for us and gave us a very friendly greeting.
The apartment is on the top floor and since we would be gone for almost 2 weeks (we were going to my grandparents afterward) we had some big bags to carry but we knew this from the beginning...
Over all this was a very nice place very close to all of the things that are central in Barcelona and the metro/buses is just a few blocks away :)
