We never met Mar but did meet Albert at the apartment. He was very pleasant and helpful with a map of the area and some instruction of the appliances. I only wish we had received more instruction as we were not able to use the dryer or cooktop. The apartment lives up to it's description of a modern flat near the beach. It's also very near the Llacuna metro stop. It was a good, comfortable base of operations to enjoy Barcelona. Which we did.
