I highly recommend Ricard as a host. Communication was good, even though I speak no Spanish. Check in was very good. We arrived and, as promised, Ricard arranged our very secure parking (included) and then showed us to the apartment. Fifth (top) floor with a small elevator, the apartment is very comfortable. The bedroom is at the rear and away from street noise - very quiet. The terrace is private and perfect for an afternoon drink. Kitchen is well equipped and the apartment was as advertised, clean and secure. The Metro is one short block away, but we chose to walk - about 20 mins to the Gothic quarter.
Highly recommend Ricard and his apartment, particularly if you have a car as we did.
Thanks Ricard.
