My husband and three adolescent sons stayed there for two nights mid-July 2017. We were very pleased with Charle's spacious and well kept apartment on the corner overlooking the Gran Via. The a/c was very welcome and worked well. Beds so comfortable I had a hard time getting the family out of them to go sight seeing! House was immaculate and decorated with flair. Kitchen very well stocked with glasses, plates, pots pans etc. Building itself is moderniste and has a cool ancient elevator which we used often as, while the flat is techincally on the 3rd floor in Spain's terms, in USA terms it is the 6th floor. Away from the crowded and touristy Ramblas, but a 15 minute walk to the old town. Also a quick walk to El Yantar de La Ribera Restaurant which has the most amazing suckling pig. While not catalan cuisine, it is delicious. Charles was very responsive to my email
