Ricardo and Regina were excellent hosts. They met us upon arrival and presented us with a clean and tidy flat. The lodgings were perfect for our party, with three small single rooms and a double for my parents. It was well furnished and full of light and fresh air. The sunny deck overlooks the busy intersection of Carrer de Balmes and Arago, which is bustling and lively.

The flat was well located. By walking just two blocks down Arago, we could catch several lines of the subway and go anywhere in the city quickly. For example, the Barri Gotic neighborhood is only two or three stops away, as is the Sagrada Familia. But the neighborhood itself is great to explore and offers everything from convenience stores and supermarkets to sidewalk dining, a variety of restaurants and trendy/upscale shopping.

Our hosts were very attentive, both via email before our arrival and while we were there. At one point, Ricardo came within an hour to make an adjustment on the washing machine on our behalf. We really appreciated the quick response and professionalism.

Overall, it was a wonderful stay in a flat that suited us well.
