Ricard's apartment is fantastic. It is roomy and super clean and has everything that you could ever need for your visit to Barcelona. Ricard was easy to get in touch with before and during our stay when we needed to make some changes and and were running a little later than expected. The neighbourhood is close to everything but away from the tourist filled downtown area. There are also some amazing restaurants and bars nearby so while it is quite at the apartment you only have to walk a block to experience some great food and culture. Highly recommended!!!
