Albert was very welcoming and helpful. He gave a great orientation to the apartment and the neighborhood. He got an electric fan for us upon request, which really helped (with no air conditioning.) His aunt Francina (who lives across the hall) helpfully called a taxi for us when we were leaving. (Both Albert and Francina speak Spanish and English.) Both even helped carry our luggage! The apartment is good, for an older building. It is on the top (8th) floor (with a lift.) The panoramic view from the spacious balcony is excellent. We could see much of the city, the surrounding mountains, and major landmarks from there. The bed was adequate. All the kitchen appliances worked well. Shower is small but it works well enough. The second bedroom was small but great for luggage space. Location: Very convenient to a Metro stop, and not too far from a handy bus route. Lots of grocery stores, cafes, pharmacies, and cheap take-out food nearby. One negative: The WiFi signal only reaches the small kitchen and small entry hall. Neither are comfortable or practical for spending much time online. Despite this and a couple other minor issues, it is a good flat. If we return to Barcelona we will consider staying at Albert's place again. Note: you must include the "BIS" part of the address to find the right place!
