Mike is the perfect host. Due to some issues I had with another host, Mike accepted my request to rent his place a day before my arrival into Barcelona. Even though it was a late flight in, he still was able to meet me at his place! He was very informative about the city and checked on us during our stay.
The apartment is beautiful and modern. Everything is brand new. It is located in a safe area where you can find local restaurants and wine bars away from all the touristy and over priced places. If you are taking the metro it's a block away which is very convenient, also a block away from a supermarket. I felt very safe in this area and comfortable in Mike's apartment. I would recommend his place to friends and family when they visit Barcelona!! Thumbs up!
