Roger was in constant contact with me from the first inquiry to the time that I arrived. He asked what time I would be arriving and made sure that someone was there to greet me.

I received the keys and after dropping off my bags, I went out to enjoy Barcelona for everything it had to offer. I didn't run into Roger or anyone else from his family for the remainder of the trip. Which was totally fine as I'm a pretty independent traveler. There is a complete library of books and maps if you need them. And I'm sure if you wanted to ask them a question, Roger or anyone from his family would be an excellent source of information. They've lived in this apartment from what I have gathered, about 100 years.

The room was on the quiet side of the apartment, and after a long day of walking around, it was very easy to just fall fast asleep.

On my second day on this trip I walked out of the apartment and was in the middle of an Independence march for Catalonia. I was swept up and included in the march and it was fantastic.

Lots of restaurants and coffee houses in the area, and walking distance to some great museums and exhibits. I figured out the subway system which is steps away. Great location! Would return for sure.
