Emanuele was a very friendly host who was easily accessible before and during the stay. Even though our flight arrived early, he met us and held our luggage while the apartment was ready for us. The welcome bottle of water and wine is a thoughtful gesture that the host provided. The apartment has an outstanding location. A short walk to Las Ramblas, La Boqueria market, etc. We even walked from the apartment to the beach which was about thirty minutes. Our only feedback for improvement in regards to the apartment would be an upgrade in the towels as well as the backed up bathtub - both of which are quick fixes. Other than that, the apartment suited our needs. Thank you!
