Exceptional. It is the one word that best describes Raimundo as a host AND the decor, comfort and location of his stylish flat, AND the full range of amenities you will find when you arrive. Everything you could need or want is there, from the TV, DVD and CD players to the espresso machine, which makes this flat a true home away from home. You will wish for nothing but a longer stay (or that every accommodation you ever rent could be so perfect)!!! The flat was sparkling clean, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The location was fabulous with a wonderful eatery just steps from the entrance, a gelato establishment and small markets just around the corner, the metro in easy walking distance, and the fabulous, World Heritage Site Palau de la Musica literally down the charming cobblestone street. Raimundo welcomed us as though we were relatives who came to visit from out of town. He took great care to get us settled, oriented to the neighborhood, and assured that he was only two blocks away and prepared to assist in any way that we might need.
I have traveled widely and do not give compliments easily. Having said that, I can say unequivocally that this flat is a GEM and Raimundo is truly "the host with the most" perfect sense of hospitality. Not so incidentally...we never had time to use any of the electronics...we were too busy discovering every nook and cranny of Barcelona (using the map and exploring suggestions provided by Raimundo), but it was nice to know it was all there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
