We never actually met Andreas because he sent his colleague. The unit is in an edgy part of Barcelona, but an easy walk to Plaza de Catalunya and the San Antoni metro stop. The unit is as described, clean and quiet. Expect to pay a local tax and have smaller Euro since the person who met us was unable to make change. We also had to write down our names, passport numbers and date of birth. Did not have to do this at our Madrid and Cordoba sign-ins. Not a big deal, but not usual. The check-in felt more business like and not warm and welcoming. The house rules make it sound as if Andreas had had some bad experiences with some renters so the tone was stern-- "no bachelor parties", "leave the apartment as you found it", etc. The unit is lovely and met our needs.
