Myself and my 2 friends have just spent a wonderful long weekend in Barcelona and Giovanni's apartment definitely made it for us . It's in a great location with some lovely restaurants nearby especially around the Arc de Triomphe . Giovanni met us within 5 mins of calling him to say that we arrived and showed us to the appt and explained where everything was etc . We arrived late and so wanted to go somewhere locally for something to eat , Giovanni suggested Dune across the road which was perfect and the tapas was excellent and so was a great start to our weekend . Giovanni is a super host and his apartment is perfect ... we were sorry our stay was so short but we'll back and hopefully Giovanni's apartment will be available
