John arranged for his niece to check us in and John was very communicative concerning the information he needed from us and was available for any questions via messaging. He left a very detailed document with different ideas for restaurants and sites to see throughout the city. The apartment is located in a nice neighborhood in Poble Sec and has several shops and restaurants nearby, but Barcelona is quite a large city so there are many things to see near and far. As long as you're willing to rent bikes or take the bus then anything is fairly close, otherwise it's a 20-40 minute walk to a lot of the main restaurants and attractions. The apartment has all the basics and the air-conditioner works well which is great in the summer. The only issue we had is the air conditioner gives off a large amount of condensation which drips into a bottle. You have to empty the bottle periodically so it doesn't spill over, which we forgot about once. The other thing which has already been mentioned is no elevator in the building so be prepared to go up 4 flights of stairs. Otherwise, our stay was quite enjoyable. Thanks for everything!
