Ricard was very welcoming and friendly. He was helpful and timely with answering all of our questions and was willing to work with our travel schedule. The apartment was comfortable, especially the terrace, with its fantastic view. It was also a nice place to relax and cook a meal in. We especially appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom, as the city was very hot during our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and residential, with a lot of restaurants and bakeries nearby. It's a pretty far walk to everything downtown, where a lot of the nightlife in Barcelona is, but the apartment is close to a train station, which made getting around easier.
