Victor assisted us even before getting to his apartment. We arrived by train from Paris, but arrived late (8:30 PM). We contacted Victor who was helpful with directions and who was waiting for us as we arrived.

The apartment was spacious as is seen in the pictures. We loved the balcony where we could sit and have morning coffee. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate.

Victor had many books and guides for Barcelona and we made good use of them. Additionally Victor had sent (and resent again) an extensive list of restaurants and late night venues. When in a new town at 11:00 PM it is good to have a an idea of where to go for food or drink.

Speaking of drink, Victor was generous to have a bottle of Spanish Cava for us as well as chocolates. Yummy!

On our first full day Victor assisted with getting an absentee ballot into the mails by giving directions to nearby local Post Offices. You will always have issues with finding a Post Office.

Initially there were only two pillows for his king size bed, but a third pillow was found after a brief search.

The shower was spacious and the bath room well appointed.

The kitchen had many amenities for a short stay, and Victor took the time to explain the operation of the washer/dryer unit to us. We just did not have need to use it.

The apartment is in a quiet part of town (near the Rambles and the Gothic District, as well as near the Barcelona port). There are windows on two sides and the windows look over a small square. There are tall trees that give a feel of being in the tree tops. Very nice. The street by the bed is quiet and when you look out has a wonderful charm.

Staying here made out trip to Barcelona that much more special.
