Raquel wasn't home, so unfortunately we did not meet. We communicated over our cell phones and she was available when necessary.
Telma, who also lives in the appartment was there to let me in, she guided me to my room, showed me the kitchen, bathroom and gave me the keys. She speaks perfect english so was able to answer my questions in detail.
As I was in Barcelona for the Be Prog! My Friend Festival I spent the rest of Friday and the complete Saturday outdoors.
On Sunday I had a very nice conversation with Telma which was a highlight for me as I don't speak Spanish or Catalan.
The appartment is as descibed and it's a 2 minute walk to the tube station. Parks, bars, restaurants, bus station...it's all there.
A vibrant part of town.
To be recommended.
