Booking through Klaus was exceptional.

He met us at the Apartment and showed us how the various appliances (kitchen, bathroom, laundry machine) worked. Any small problems we encountered he promptly fixed it the next day while we were out and about. He also provided us with a couple of welcome treats - fresh fruit, bottled water, biscuits, and Spanish beer.

The Apartment is in a nice little neighborhood - safe, not too busy, close to the L3 and L5 lines, near great restaurants, and quality Gelato! There are a couple of supermarkets nearby where you can buy essentials, and the local market provides fresh fruits, meats, cheese, vegetables and fish.

We used the laundry machine and the dishwasher and had no trouble running either. There is no air conditioning which can make Barcelona in the summer a little humid and hot, but we left our windows open the entire week to cool us down, and frankly we preferred the fresh breezes and the city noises.
