Our wonderful host, Fernando, was waiting for us when we arrived. He showed us around the apartment, making sure that we knew how to operate everything and where all amenities were located. He provided us with apples, pears, and dark chocolat, drinking water, milk, orange juice, bread, butter, and jam. Well stocked pantry, too. Pans were a bit worn (Teflon), but other than that, the kitchen was perfect. My room was very comfortable and I slept very well in spite of the Barcelona singing and partying that goes on until 4am - it was actually quite charming. Fernando was very helpful with a city guide and we saw as much of Barcelona that can be crammed into 5 days (my son is a very fast walker!) I would definitely recommend Fernando's place as a great place to stay in Barcelona.
