Responses from the host to any queries I had was very prompt. Had no trouble communicating with Monica even though she does not speak much English and I do no speak Spanish.Monica had a hand held electronic devise that when she typed in Spanish translated the conversation to English and visa versa for me.So no language problems.
The apartment is 30 metres from the metro and from here it is very easy to get around Barcelona. The apartment is located close to all facilites that one could want. In fact within one to two minutes there are 4 good sized supermarkets.At the door step are many cafes, restaurants, buses etc.The apartment is light and bright with two patios that has nice views.
A jug to boil water was not supplied. When I mentioned this to Monica,as we drink tea and had used a pot to boil water on the hotplates,she said she would get us one. Thirty minutes later Monica was at the front door with a shopping bag for us. In it was a brand new jug which she had purchased. What service !! I think that indictates the calibre of the host. Would highly recommend the listing.
