The mark of a great host is anticipating the needs of the renter and then ensuring they have taken steps to meet those needs. Joe did exactly that. Making sure there was plenty of water to going with me to the parking garage to ensure that I got a good negotiated rate for parking my car to showing me all the hot spots on the map....he met all my needs. He was very responsive as well to any queries. The apartment is very stylish and comfortable with a cool balcony to hang out in. It is in the middle of everything with lots of cafes and restaturatns nearby and very close to many things to see. La Sagrada Familia was only a 15 minute walk away. It was great to live like a citizen of Barcelona for a few days and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much, Joe and Lola, for a wonderful stay and your hospitality! Viva Barcelona!
