Raimundo made us feel so welcome when we arrived. He spoke to our taxi driver explaining the best place for us to meet him, and when we got to the apartment, he greeted us with a warm smile and enthusiasm for Barcelona that instantly made us super excited about our week in Barcelona. He provided us with plenty of recommendations, more than we could fit into the 6 days we had in the city.

The apartment was extremely comfortable and fitted out in a very modern way, yet retaining all the character of the old building. Raimundo has a great eye for style, and after a long day, relaxing in the apartment was a very pleasurable experience.

The surrounding area has bags of character, and you're no more than 15 or 20 minutes walk from the beach and tons of great restaurants and bars. Other attractions are well within 40 minutes walking distance, and we didn't have to use public transport once, although there was plenty nearby.

We are already planning our next visit, and hope to stay at Raimundo's again!
