When we arrived, Armando met us by the square, as we'd arranged via e-mail. He was friendly and courteous and showed us round the apartment, then left us to enjoy our stay. The apartment was spacious and clean, with a great view of the Sagrada Familia. I was with 2 old school friends and we were looking for a place where we could have separate rooms - not only did we get that, but it was much cheaper than the one triple room in a hotel that we'd looked at first! The apartment is very near to the local Metro station and so it's very easy to get to anywhere in the city and also not that far to walk from there to the old town. All in all Armando's apartment was perfect for our needs and I would highly recommend it as a place to stay in Barcelona!
