Great stay at Roger's apartment and he was more than accommodating to my arriving at 8am on an overnight flight and leaving a bit later in the day on my departure. Apartment was modern, comfortable and clean, very central to the tram, metro, supermarket (there are 3 of them) and a mall. Plus a short 15min walk to the beach down the Rambla Poble Nou which is scenic and less touristy than the Las Ramblas. Great little restaurants along the way and then beach bars. Taxis everywhere so never hard to grab one. I loved the shower, hot and strong. Bed was a wee bit hard for my liking and I would have liked more fluffy sheets/pillows but that's really a personal thing. Kitchen was well equipped and so nice to have a washing machine. Laundry soap provided. For the females... bathroom is a bit dark for doing make-up.
