We had a pleasant stay at Pedro's property. Never met him but met Javier who lives in the space and was our host during our stay. He was very hospitable and kind. The apartment is not as close to Plaza Cataluyna as the description indicates but still in the middle of Las Ramblas and lots of dining and shopping areas. Be careful at night however, as it is close to El Raval neighborhood on the other side of Las Ramblas.
The apartment was clean and the living room and kitchen area were very cool with properly working AC. However, the room we were in the AC did not work very well. It was still a bit cooler than outside, but not as cool as in the living room/kitchen area.
