Communication with Roger and his partner Anne was terrific. All questions were answered before we got there. The place was spotless when we arrived. They had a welcome gift in the fridge. If you are not used to living in the city, the flights of stairs may wear you out. Also, you may feel a bit "close" to your neighbors. We didn't mind that at all. The neighborhood was great - short walk to the market for Sangria on the patio. A leisurely stroll to the beach down the rambla at evening time is a must. No need to go to the great big one downtown - enjoy the same atmosphere and tapas in your own neighborhood. Everything was great. (oh! and the washing machine was great for travelers who don't want to lug around dirty laundry in their suitcases!) Thanks Roger and Anne!
