Ricardo is a great host and very helpful. His place is clean and comfortable and good value for the money. It is located in a more modern and peaceful neighborhood, in close proximity to good grocery stores, bars and restaurants. There are 2 subway stations 15 minutes walking distance and bus station close by. It is also within walking distance of the beautiful Montjuïc area which houses the 1992 Olympic village and several beautiful gardens and a Spanish fortress with great views over the city. It was a great experience and a comfortable stay. Highly recommended
