Sandro quickly responded to all communications prior to our visit and provided many helpful tips and services for arrival..especially door-to-door airport transport. He met us at the apartment and allowed us to enter it early, which was a great convenience for us. Our host is charming, personable and very anxious to assist us in every way to make our stay a success. His personal touch included maps, restaurant tips and even an offer to have us print items at his office if necessary. The apartment is located in a charming city neighborhood with restaurants, little food markets and pharmacies, florists and shops. The Fontana Metro stop is not far and that makes it easy to use public transport to the city center. Our beds and bathrooms were comfortable. The bathrooms were spotless. The kitchenware and cooking tools are a bit spare for real cooks, but we were able to prepare some meals and use the nice kitchen to defray cost of eating out all the time. A small restaurant nearby served excellent tapas as well. In warmer weather, the little terrace off the dining room would be pleasant. We appreciated what Sandro provided to make our first trip to Barcelona such a pleasure! We would happily return.
