Our request was kindly accepted last minute and Petrut's email communication was quick. He met us off the metro and escorted us to the flat as well as helping us with our luggage up four flights of stairs! He does his best to communicate in English and we were able to make ourselves understood. He and his wife were lovely and bought us coffee in the mornings.Their dog, roby, is delightful and made our stay very enjoyable. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and neat. The only small problem was the noise (we stayed on the weekend so it was to be expected!) but it all adds to the fun of Barcelona. The location is absolutely fantastic, right near la rambla and placa reial, convienient to two metro stops and near good restaurants, bars and supermarkets. We would definitely return!
