Our five night stay in Ricard's apartment was just what were looking for, Ricard was great to deal with, friendly, prompt to my email queries and also offering helpful information.

The apartment was exactly as seen online, it is on the fourth floor and has views over to Sagrada Familia. Ricard has prepared a folder of information for his guests to help quickly orientate us on bar/restaurant recommendations, location of supermarkets, etc.

The kitchen is well equipped, washing machine, iron, and the coffee pot was welcome for coffee breaks on the terrace. We appreciated having some English on one of the many television channels. The bed and pillows were comfortable and there was plenty of cupboard space.

In regards to the location it was perfect for our needs, better than I realised. Easy walking to Casa Vicens, La Pedrera, Casa Batllo, and Sagrada Familia. Barcelona Sants is only four metro stops away which made arrival and departure easy; only a 15 minute walk to the metro with our luggage, 10 minutes without. It took me 25 minutes to travel over to the convention centre for my work conference, the reason for our visit.

I would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommend to my family and friends. Please be aware that there is no lift in the building and you must climb many steps to the apartment, no issue for us, a good workout to wear off the yummy food.
