Many reviews mention how helpful and considerate Toni is, and we can affirm that those reviews are true. Here are some reasons why: He gave us very accurate directions how to walk to the apartment from Sants Station. When we checked in, he was very informative and thorough telling us about what to do and how to get around in Barcelona. He printed out and delivered to the apartment hard copies of our tickets to the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell (but you don't need to ask him to do that--showing the QR code on your phone will work). He let us know that we could call on him if we needed to. He left us a complimentary bottle of cava in the refrigerator. He arranged a cab for us promptly when checking out. In general, he was a positive, tactful, and trustworthy host.

The apartment is conveniently located near Espanya and Rocafort subway stations, and there are several good food stores nearby, including a general purpose food market and several good local butchers and seafood stores.
