I stayed here for a week in July with three friends, and it was a great week. We mainly had contact with Hans' partner Jose, who was a good host. Stayed in touch to see how we were fairing, and had some great recommendations for restaurants in the area (which there are lots of!). Felt like we could ask for anything at any time, which was nice.

The apartment isn't the biggest one, but it's a great "home base" while in Barcelona. Comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, very quiet, can hardly hear the street outside. Very central with a metro station a few blocks over, though you don't really need it since it doesn't take much more than 20 minutes to walk to most of Barcelonas main attractions from the apartment.

If there is a drawback to this apartment, it's that some of the dining room chairs are quite squeaky. A VERY minor inconvenience. All in all, a very nice place to stay in this great city.
