Overall, it was a very positive experience staying at "luxury large design apartment." The description and photos were accurate. Horacio was not able to meet us but a friend of his did, and Horacio came by later to show us how to work the appliances, etc., and left a bottle of wine and a bottle of water for us. He also sent a long welcome email about amenities in the area, and quickly answered questions we had. The location is great, in El Born close to great restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. It was a little farther from the Metro underground system than was ideal for us, with a slow-moving older person and an easily-tiring small child. Horacio also ordered a taxi for us when we had to leave, and helped us with the luggage when we were leaving. He even posted one item we had inadvertently left in the apartment. Overall, I highly recommend this spacious apartment and gracious host! Also, our taxi driver had trouble finding the place, and because it is in a pedestrian area dropped us about 2 blocks away. However, then we had trouble finding the actual apartment. Make sure you get detailed directions from Horacio if you are staying here.
