Andres and his niece were most helpful. Prior to our arrival in Barcelona, Andres responded swiftly to questions. On the day I arrived his niece met me at his place and gave me the keys and a tour of the apartment, which was great. Andres left a bottle of wine, water and cookies, which was a great touch.

The apartment had everything we needed and was perfectly located for walking down to ramblas, the gothic quarter, sagrada familia, and so on. There are several restaurants with great menus around the apartment, and the L5 metro stop nearby connects you to the rest of the city. Simply fantastic.
