Ricard's apartment was everything I was looking for when I booked it. It's in a quiet, non-touristy, residential neighborhood, but walking distance to all of the things that I wanted to see when in Barcelona. The main streets are close if you need a cab, plus, Ricard helped us out and ordered two cabs for us when we had to leave in the early morning. The apartment was small, but was perfect for 2 people, and very clean. There is even a washing machine and clothes line to dry your clothes, which we used once for the towels. There was an iron, a blow dryer, and soap for us to use which was all helpful so we didn't have to bring that stuff.

Ricard was accomodating and easy to get a hold of. He gave us a lot of helpful information prior to the trip, but was also helpful while we were there. Any time I reached out to him he answered me right away. Also, Ricard left us a delicious bottle of Cava upon our arrival, which of course we drank immediately!

Ricard's recommendations for restaurants in the nearby area were spot on. Placa de Gracia is near by, which is the town square. Not only is it beautiful, but lined with restaurants and dessert places. Everything is open late too, which is perfect if you get in from a long flight.

Thank you again to Ricard for being a wonderful host!! We would love to come back!
