The apartment was as advertised and is right next to to the Sagrada Familia, with impressive views of the famous church (and the whole of Barcelona) from the apartment balconies. The apartment was clean when we arrived, and the fans in each room ensured the rooms were cool despite the warm weather. It was exactly what we needed for the 5 nights. There are plenty of nice cafes, bars and restaurants nearby, and Armando has generously created a book of his own recommendations too. Armando was a great host and showed us how everything worked when we arrived, and he even kept in touch (over phone) to provide a solution to an issue we had with the iron. The location is great - Sagrada Familia metro station has two lines that can take you to most of the main sites, such as Las Ramblas, in under 10 minutes. There’s a frosted glass partition between the living room of Armando’s apartment and the neighbour's apartment, who complained when we forgot to turn off the kitchen light one night, but this is not an issue at all as long as you remember to switch it off. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again, even if just for the incredible views alone.
