Haider was an amazing host; our flight was supposed to arrive at 11PM and didn't end up arriving until 4:30AM. When we arrived exhausted and confused about where the keys were hidden, he was right there, a phone call away, to help! The apartment was perfectly furnished and equipped. We really enjoyed the location. It was walking distance to most attractions but was more quiet than the El Born or Gothic neighborhoods would have been. There were markets very close and some yummy eateries as well. The apartment was clean and well kept. The stairs were a bear...but definitely not a reason to skip this rental...we all lost about 5 pounds, even though we were eating a ton, thanks to the stairs! I would recommend this apartment!
