André was the perfect host, giving a full list of local tips (with pictures!) of local eateries, places to visit etc. As we had never been to Barcelona before and were only there for a limited time this was really helpful. André was gracious and thoughtful throughout and struck the perfect balance between supportive and unobtrusive. The space was good, private and artfully arranged and in a beautiful modernist building (complete with shutters/balcony windows and lots of narrow stairs!). We loved the view and found the location very convenient for the metro and tourist attractions. The apartment is central and therefore there is a lot of late night noise, which is to be expected.
