Our stay at Mike's place was fantastic — spacious, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable, which was great after wandering through the city all day. The apartment is in a great location, close to two separate metro stops and within walking distance of spectacular bars and restaurants. Mike was a wonderful host. Prior to our arrival, he sent us a bunch of local tips and recommendations as well as directions to/from the airport and train stations. When we arrived, he helped us with our luggage (there's no lift so expect to walk up and down 3 flights of stairs to get to the apartment) and provided us with a map of Barcelona and pointed out which neighborhoods everything was in. I'd definitely recommend staying at Mike's apartment and will be rebooking with him the next time we're in Barcelona. Trust his recommendations, we had one of the best meals during entire Spain trip at a restaurant he suggested!
