Gerard was very welcoming and made our trip easy by arranging for us to be collected at the airport. The apartment is immaculate and even better than the pictures. Sants Estacion Metro is literally a 2 minute walk and you can get all over the city from there. The street that the apartment is on is beautiful and has everything that you need including bars, shops and a variety of retaurants serving food from all over the world. Check out a new bar called 'La Pera', and as well as all the fantastic Spanish cuisine there is a great Ethiopian restaurant close by if you fancy a different experience - particularly great if you are vegetarian. I will certainly return here when I get the chance.
