This is my second stay at Andre's awesome flat in Barcelona, and Andre is a great host. "Checking in" and getting keys were easy both years staying here. The first year, I received a tour of the flat, and was familiarized with how things worked in the house (washer/dryer, internet, etc). This year I already knew how things worked!

As far as the location goes, it is 5 blocks or so to La Rambla, it is a couple blocks from Passeig De Gracia, and the things to see there. There is a metro station fairly close by as well.

The flat itself is very nice and well accommodated. Last year I had a colleague with me, and he stayed in the loft which worked out very well. This year I stayed at the flat alone, and it was more than enough space. Next time I will stay here with my wife instead of in a hotel which is what we usually do in Barcelona.
