Phil and Fiona are great hosts. I contacted them several times before my trip and they responded immediately. They also allowed us to drop off our luggage before check in time so that we could begin our Barcelona adventure right away. Phil met us right on time and gave us good information about the area . They also have a few binders full of information in the apartment. The apartment is fantastic. Even nicer than it appears in the listing. We were 3 friends travelling together, but this would also be a great place for a family. Location is great too. Close to the Metro and the Gracia area is quite lovely with plenty of good restaurants and shops.
