Before we arrived, Ramon reacted very quickly to all of our requests and made sure that all questions have been answered. When we arrived, his friend met us at the apartment and explained everthing in detail - he was very kind and helpful.
Ramon's apartment was exactly as pictured in the photos - clean, newly renovated and nicely designed. The kitchen was perfect and included all necessary elements for cooking, washing, etc. The bathroom is small but very modern and chic with an amazing shower. The balcony does not really have a view - it faces house walls and many other balconies who can partly look on the balcony of the apartment.
The metro station Poble Sec can be reached within 2 minutes. Las Ramblas can be reached by metro or on foot within approximately 15 minutes.
In a nutshell, we were very happy with the apartment and the host.
