Ricard was very pleasant and helpful host. The apartment was very nice, in an attractive older building but completely renovated. It was extremely clean. The terrace area was attractive and we fortunately had the weather to enjoy it for a few hours. The apartment is close to many attractions tourist like to visit. The area is lively with lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance, but the street itself is very quiet. The apartment has all you need for an enjoyable stay close to the highlights of Barcelona.
