Claudio was very friendly and helpful and communicated with us regularly to ensure our stay was enjoyable. We arrived early and he was kind enough to allow us to drop off our luggage so we could make the most of our first day in Barcelona. When we were able to access the apartment we discovered nice little touches such as wine, refreshments and little bakery treats left for us to enjoy. Claudio took time with us to show us how to get around Barcelona and pointed out to us places to visit and recommendations for good tapas. The apartment is in a lovely spot in Barcelona with beautiful little bakeries scattered around and great coffee spots. Make sure you get out and about and walk the many little narrow roads that some surprisingly lead to you to lively squares where people gather enjoying themselves. While this apartment is close by to many interesting locations, the public transport in Barcelona is also very impressive so it is easy to get to many of the tourist destinations.
