Our stay at Mike's place was seamless. He arranged check in details prior to our arrival in Barcelona and we were able to very easily contact him on the day to further discuss arrival time etc, replies were very timely which made things easy. When we arrived, we were shown around the apartment, told where everything was and how to use it. The apartment was just as described on the listing and Mike had even started us off with some essentials in the fridge and a lovely bottle of wine. Mike gave us advice on the best local eateries, attractions, our closest metro stop and the best way to use it (ticket wise) during our stay. Mike also checked in on us via email during our stay which we really appreciated. Knowing our host was so easily contactable gave us great peace of mind during our stay. We really enjoyed our time in this beautiful city, partly because we had such a comfortable place to come back to each night. I highly recommend staying in Mike's place on your next trip to Barcelona
