My regular traveling companion, Masha, was lucky enough to stay at Marc’s apartment for 10 nights after she left Kyiv, Ukraine and had spent 11 days getting to Poland, followed by Germany.
The apartment was perfect, just as advertised. The bed was comfortable; all of the appliances worked well; all necessary supplies were there for cooking and cleaning; and the location was excellent. It was an easy walk to the beach to take her tiny 1.5 kg dog Bacchus to see the Mediterranean for the first time. The neighborhood is safe and vibrant with plenty of shops and restaurants, and the Metro and other public transit are nearby. Masha loves to walk, and walked to City Park, Born and the Gothic Quarter from it, as well as exploring Poblenou.
Marc also was very helpful. Masha was scheduled to get her Covid booster in Kyiv, but the Russian invasion prevented that. Marc helped her get registered with the Spanish medical office, and she was able to get her booster in Barcelona.
100% recommended to a single or couple traveling to this wonderful city.
