Outstanding experience from booking to check-out. Rachid and his friend Manolo were great at communicating and alerted us to the taxi strike that impacted our arrival to Barcelona and helped us find an alternative. The apartment was on a nice, pedestrian-only street with lots of restaurant options and markets nearby. It was also a short walk to the Poble Sec metro stop which allowed for easy travel to many of the sites throughout the city we visited. The apartment itself was very comfortable with a nice layout. Rachid provided a pack-n-play and high chair for our young son. The air conditioning was a welcomed comfort after our hot days exploring the city. There are a good number of stairs required to reach the apartment, but not an issue for us. Overall, highly recommend the apartment for a stay in Barcelona.
