Ricard is a wonderful host. Upon arrival he gave us an excellent orientation on the apartment plus guidance of the city in general especially what to be careful with. The apartment is impeccable and in a wonderful location. There are plenty of restaurants , bar and markets in the area. You can walk to the bus stops and metro. The area is very quiet so you can sleep peacefully . Ricard was very helpful in setting up a very early morning taxi for our departure. We strongly recommend this apartment to other travelers. We definitely will stay here on our next trip to Barcelona.
