The apartment was fantastic - a perfect size for us and a brilliant location. The terrace was really lovely, we would sit out there in the morning and work. As soon as it got too hot we could come inside and work there, thanks to the air con (the wifi was plenty fast enough for us).

We were attending a conference out at the Hesperia Hotel, which was about 15 minutes on the metro. Catalunya was about 5 minutes in the other direction, so the location really was perfect.

Javier was a great host and really helpful throughout. One afternoon we came back and the lock on the door had stopped working. Javier jumped in his car and came over, then spent the best part of 2 hours fitting a new lock himself (despite it actually being his wedding anniversary!). Top man!
