Ricard was a friendly and reliable host, helping us with the building noise, and reacting quickly to additional requests. iThe location of the appartment is great if you want to get to know a less touisty side of Barcelona, and if you want to be near park guell. We thought the appartment is probably better suited for a visit in a warmer period, (we were there at the beginning of March), as it doesn't get so much direct sunlight on the first floor, and it would be nice to use the balcony. We were expecting a larger sitting room after having seen the photos, which felt a bit small to spend much time in. This would probably feel airier, when the balcony door can be left open.
