We stayed at Ferran's place in Barcelona for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. He was extremely communicative during the days leading up to our trip and flexible regarding our arrival time (as I kept emailing him with changes prior to departing the U.S.). Upon arrival, he provided us with tons of information on things to do in Barcelona, as well as tips on using the Metro and on places we might want to avoid. Although we did our research ahead of time, it was nice to have honest insight from a local. The place was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to many of Barcelona's main sights (i.e. La Rambla, the Gothic Quarter, la Mercat de Boqueria, etc.) and to the Metro, which made dealing with heavy bags more manageable. A nice plus was access to an in-unit washer, so we were able to do some laundry and let it dry on the clothesline outside while we were out for the day. Ferran also had a bottle of cava brut chilling in the fridge when we arrived, which was a very nice welcome. I definitely recommend Ferran's place to anyone visiting Barcelona and would book with him again in the future.
