Paul is the perfect host. Communication was prompt and efficient and he was a sweetheart. He met me outside the apartment as I rolled up in a cab looking for the apartment and called my name out so we knew to stop.

He helped me with my luggage and made the check in process quick and painless. He even walked me to the train station since I had to go back to the last apartment I rented quickly because I had forgotten (of all things, my Euro.) We had a great chat and gave me some suggestions of things to do in the neighborhood.

The apartment is exactly how it's described. It is bright, VERY clean, and had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable and seamless. Air-conditioning worked perfectly as did the WiFi. The patio is to die for. It's very spacious with many places to sit and has great views. There is a little outhouse on the patio with a washing machine and extra folding chairs.

The neighborhood is very charming and totally different from other areas in Barcelona. It's much more residential and quiet and so beautiful. But only a couple blocks from the main streets with shops and high-end stores. It reminds me of the Upper East side, without being snobby and MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL. Upper East doesn't hold a candle to this area.

Overall, my experience with Paul and his apartment was perfection. I couldn't have asked for anything more. And coming from a New Yorker, that's saying A LOT :) Thank you, Paul for making my few days at your apartment a joy.
