Raimundo is an excellent host and was amazingly accommodating and so gracious! When we arrived he took so much time and care explaining to us the city and suggesting amazing restaurants that led to some the best food we had on our whole trip. The flat is beautiful, clean, has great airconditioning (hard to find) and perfectly suited for 2 people wanting to explore Barcelona. The location is perfection. The El Born neighborhood is quaint, young, fun and full of fantastic bars and restaurants. It's about a 3-minute walk to the Urquinaona Metro stop, and only a couple minutes further to Placa de Catalunya Metro stop and central hub to get anywhere in the city. I highly recommend staying in Raimundo's lovely flat! He truly was an exceptional host and takes great pride in making his guests feel as comfortable and at home as possible. All the stairs are well worth it! =)
