Eduard was very communicative and very willing to help in any way. He is a great host. The apartment is in a perfect location- steps from the barri gotic, placa catalunya, les exiample, las ramblas, born and el raval. So easy to catch a bus to Gracia and parc guell (all things I did in 3 days!). The apartment is basic, comfortable, and convenient. 24 hour grocery is just across the street and good coffee just next door.
