Sergio understands how to help his guests arrive easily; I had trouble texting in Spain, but he relied on our detailed emails to let us into the apartment as soon as we arrived. There are several information booklets, so be sure to check them out under the TV. We only found them on our last day in Barcelona and they're filled with useful information. The apartment is well located to get the bus to the beach or Parc Guell, walk to the Sagrada Familia and the Arco, and catch the metro, and there are lots of varied restaurants within a ten-minute walk. While we were in Barcelona, it was very hot (32 during the day, 23 at night), so sleeping with only fans and the windows open was an issue for us. The street noise was intense even with earplugs. The kitchen is well stocked to cook and has basics like oil, salt and pepper; the coffee maker takes Nespresso capsules. Thanks for having us, Sergio.
