Ron made us feel welcome from the moment we booked the room. He was an amazing resource on things to see and do in Barcelona--it was like having a personal tour planner! When we arrived, he helped carry our luggage up to the room. The apartment is well situated in the heart of old town Barcelona. It was neat, clean, inviting, and well organized. Ron had written "house rules/guidelines" which were very helpful along with a list of nearby tapas bars, pizza restaurants, coffee shops, and gelato. He was a wealth of information on acquiring advance tickets for the most popular tourist attractions and mass transit. Ron and Tadaaki were very gracious hosts. We enjoyed our stay with them very much!
