Ricard was extremely easy to interact with. He sent me detailed directions and options to find the apartment (I.e. bus, metro, Cab) and made my entry into Barcelona stress free. In addition, he was immediately responsive to any question or need and proactively reached out to remind me of a holiday as some stores, restaurants, etc. might be closed. I was impressed with his level of hospitality.
The apartment is in a fantastic part of Barcelona; it is a nice and safe area that has shops and restaurants but is also residential. As a solo female traveler returning very late I always felt safe. The bed was comfortable and the shower was fantastic - hot and great pressure. In addition, Ricard has everything you need to stay in and cook (although you’re in Barcelona so I can’t imagine doing that) and provided a few small things like a few pods of nespresso that were much appreciated. This was a great experience and a place that I would happily return to.
