John was a terrific host who welcomed us to his unique modern apartment and its many amenities ( large bedrooms, jacuzzi, terrace, modern kitchen, beautiful decor). Location is close to Metro or taxis are easy and worthwhile for small groups to get around. While walkable to Las Ramblas and Gothic Area, this location doesn't have the noise of the more touristy scene. Terrace setting is wonderful for morning coffee and warm, breezy after-dinner cocktails. A truly gorgeous apartment!
