We couldn't meet German when we checked in but was met by German's cousin Arnau. Both German and Arnau gave us advice and tips on getting to the apartment and getting around in Barcelona. The apartment is spacious and clean, has all the amenities for cooking and laundry. It is very near to the metro station, a few supermarkets and Ave Gaudi with many restaurants, and of course within walking distance or a train stop to Sagrada Familia. Overall, a wonderful place and great stay for us!
