Just returned from a lovely few days in Barcelona. Fernando is an excellent, welcoming host - sent very clear instructions on how to get to the apartment and met us on arrival. He had even got some bits in (bread, milk, coffee etc.) which was great. The apartment itself is lovely - very rustic and beautifully furnished, with the added addition of a lovely sun-trap balcony. It was more central than I expected, which was great, but was also nice and quiet. The metro is very close so getting around was really easy (although you can walk to Plaça de Catalunya in about 15-20mins). All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay in a vibrant city made better by a great host and lovely apartment - would loved to have a few more days.....so am sure we'll be back! Thanks Fernando!
