Gerard and Helmut's apartment is elegantly decorated. The pictures don't do it justice. My wife and I enjoyed wonderful local vino recommended by Gerard, on the lovely terrace. Gerard was courteous enough to meet us at the apartment the day we arrived and gave us some helpful tips on how to get around and sightseeing recommendations.
The apartment is also perfectly situated, a stone throw from Barcelo Sants and 5 - 8 minute train ride to Placa de catalunya.
This was our first visit to Barcelona and it certainly won't be our last. We'll definitely stay at Gerard and Helmut's place again.
