Lluis was great. We got in quite late because of the train we had taken from another city, and he had someone there to greet us and show us all around the apartment. We thought we would be far away from anything in the city, but we were actually right in the middle of everything without all the noise. We didn’t realize it was Pride weekend, so it was a treat to go to the booths and watch a group sing that night. The energy of the crowd was incredible. The magic fountain cannot be missed, and the hop on/hop off bus for getting to the sites of the City is right nearby. LLuis’ balcony is an oasis in the city and the air conditioning saved us after a hot day running around and while sleeping. There’s an amazing bakery a few blocks up from the apartment, as well as a supermarket around the corner and small local restaurants and markets nearby. Just be careful of pickpockets and don’t keep anything valuable in a backpack. It happened to us on the first day at the main train station within 15 minutes on our way into the subway.
