The Forum Deluxe apartment hosted by Etain was excellent, overall.

A group of 4 colleagues stayed in this apartment during our business trip to the Barcelona CCIB conference center and were very pleased with our stay.

Pros:
- very close (5 min walk) to the CCIB conference/convention center and beach
- very clean and well-equipped, modern apartment which has been accurately advertised by the host
- local area felt safe
- 4 physical beds for 4 individual sleeping arrangements (2 double options available for a total of 6 bed spaces)--as advertised
- We were able to reserve the entire apartment with only 4 guests

Suggested improvements:
- we experienced some timing/coordination inconvenience due to having only 2 apartment keys. This could easily be resolved if the host can provide 1 key/guest as-needed, especially for business travelers. Note: the apartment host (Etain) has been excellent and we expect this accommodation will be made.
- we were not initially aware of an additional, cash-only fee ("tourist tax") which was requested during check-in. Rate was .72 x person x night and was rounded up to nearest Euro. E.g., total for our 4 person, 5 night stay was 15 Euro.
