Ralf is a very good host. He agreed to meet my family early as we arrived by train from Madrid around 11:30 in the morning which is earlier than the usual check in. Ralf provided all the information we needed to get around, where to buy food etc. The apartment was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment was very central, about 5 minute walk to Sants Eustacio or Sants Barcelona.
On the day of our departure, Ralf was very accommodating in allowing us to leave our luggage until we were ready to take our taxis to the port for our scheduled cruise. I will not hesitate to stay in Ralf's place again when I am in Barcelona.
