The apartment was clean, spacious and furnished as in the pictures with a well-stocked kitchen and strong, hot shower. There were three of us but the place could accommodate a whole family.

We liked the location - it was easy to get to all the attractions of Barcelona by metro, while being a nice non-touristy area with plenty of supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and bakeries around (we even stumbled across a local street market and a few Spanish/Catalan performances).

I think Vince didn't receive my two emails about our arrival time for some reason, so Frederic was a bit surprised when I called him from the train station, however he arrived at the apartment just a minute after us to let us in and show us the facilities. (Thanks Frederic!)
