We were a group of lads under 25 so had to pay the deposit beforehand, which we were slightly apprehensive about when booking. However, do not let this deter you from booking with Ricardo as it was handled great. The only reason I am not giving this apartment 5 stars is because the door stuck and was hard to open. Although, the one time this was a big problem Ricardo came straight away to sort it out for us, which proves what a great host he is. So thank you Ricardo for allowing us to have a great week in Barcelona!
