The flat was very nice and well kept just as we expected. The location was great with just a short 10 minute walk to placa de catalunya.

The flat is located in a beautiful building with a quaint little lift (necessary as there are 5 flights of stairs) it can only carry a few people at once so if travelling in a large group like us some will have to walk to avoid a delay but this was not a problem for us, maybe something to consider if you are travelling with anyone with mobility issues.
Communication with Charles was good but perhaps there could be a little more information about the flat (ie wifi access which is detailed in the listing) but Charles does provide extensive restaurant suggestions which is helpful. No real negatives although one small thing is that there is aircon in all the bedrooms bar one and though there is a fan provided it was still pretty hot but this didn't really hamper our stay too much. Overall we all had a very enjoyable stay.
