Mike was there to greet us on arrival to a fantastic, spacious apartment. The only negative is that the access is difficult up three floors of narrow, well worn stairs. Even though it's good exercise, it would not be easy for elderly people with heavy luggage. They are slippery even without luggage. Mike helped us to carry our bags up to the apartment, and he is a great host. The apartment is only two blocks from the subway at Poble Sec, and easy 20-30 minute walk to the port area, or Les Rambles.
