Wonderful experience! Ricard is very welcoming and sent suggested things to see and do beforehand to help plan our trip (he even messaged us during our stay to let us know about a festival happening nearby). The apartment itself is beautiful, clean, and charming. We loved the location - it's central to lots of tourist attractions but removed enough that you can have a local experience. Some of our favorites were La Pepita and La Pubilla. We would highly recommend staying with Ricard and look forward to visiting Barcelona once again!
