Ricard's apartment is lovely. It is spacious, has hardwood floors, lots of light, comfortable and stylish furnishings, and lots of special touches. We love sitting on the terrace enjoying the weather, and the fully equipped kitchen is perfect for us. The location could not be better. It is close to the beach, parks, the city centre, public transportation, plenty of shops and restaurants, and El Born, all without being too touristy. Ricard is a wonderful host, offering us lots of great suggestions and tips for things to do, stocking the fridge with food, and responding instantly to all our requests. He has gone above the call of duty to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and we feel that we have made a new friend. We give the highest recommendation to Ricard and his flat and we will definitely be back!
