First off Jon the super host is really a super duper host - really he was so thorough in his direction of how to operate the appliances and recommendations for tours and restaurants. He stopped by with a bottle of wine to watch to partial eclipse. I asked him to stock the fridge. ( with minor things ) He did. Honestly he was really awesome. The apt was sparkling clean ( I usually stay at 5 star hotels wherever I go) this was way better. I like to cook my own food at least for some meals. I was traveling with my daughter (21) who has celiacs disease so she could make food she was comfortable with. The outdoor patio was huge and fantastic. Just lovely especially at night .
The location was a stones throw from Las Ramblas and all of the local attractions. The taxi stand was right across the street. Very easy.
All and all a 5 star experience - Jon exceeded 5 stars. Honestly he was so nice and helpful.
Do not hesitate :)
Cheers.
