Ron, Tadaaki, & Danko-dog were amazing. They took us in 2 hours earlier than coordinated and 6 hours before official check-in so we could leave our bags and start enjoying our vacation in Barcelona. They provided a map and a list of their favorite places which we carried with us everywhere. We wanted to experience all the amazing tourist sites while enjoying the places you only find if you live in the city. Ron and Tadaaki really helped us do that.
The apartment was cozy and right in the heart of Las Ramblas. It was everything we were looking for. The weather was cool at night with a rare rain storm which was perfect since there is no A/C. The room is small but the queen bed is comfortable and just what we needed. The shower surprised me, Europeans have such an efficient use of space, but it works and gets the job done. They even provided a hair drier for me! They have a beautiful balcony overlooking the pedestrian street below, where we enjoyed wine and olives with our hosts. If you're looking to enjoy the city and you don't mind sharing someone's home I definitely recommend experiencing Barcelona with Ron, Tadaaki, and Danko-dog.
