Carlos was very friendly and a great host and always responded immediately to any messages I sent him. The apartment was clean and tidy and has everything one needs for a comfortable stay ... plus wonderful views over the port and city. It is perfectly located ... it's possible to walk to either the city or the beach within minutes and is surrounded by plenty of bars and restaurants so is a haven to return to after a hectic day of sightseeing. I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and would rent it again when I next return to Barcelona.
