After a heartly welcome everything was explained to us properly. The spacious & stylish apartment was great and had everything we needed. Wifi worked great. Maps are left at the entrance as well as brochures on the local sights. The location was perfect for our needs. Although located in the heart of Barcelona (close to Las Ramblas) the apartment is very quiet. The good thing is you reach many attractions within walking distance. Fancy bars, restaurants and grocery stores are available in the direct neighboorhood. Metro station 'Passeig de Gracia' is also very close. Actually the Metro works very well in Barcelona, it's reasonably priced and was our favored means of transport to get from A to B. Air conditioning is not available in the apartment but we did not even miss it. For a longer stay two sets of towels would be nice, but it was also immediately offered to us when Luis handed over the apartment. The only thing we could object is (sorry, but we are Germans, it is woven into our genes :)) that the pillows in the bedroom were not very comfortable. But that is just a personal sentiment and I believe if we told Luis & Remo they would have even changed the pillows for us :) All in all the apartment is definetely recommended for a trip to Barcelona and we have come to know the host (we just met Luis) as a very a nice and courteous person.
