What can I write that other reviewers have not already covered? Ricard is a wonderful host, very responsive, and he offered some great dining recommendations in his neighborhood and throughout the city. The apartment is very clean and cozy - I remember commenting on how clean it smelled when I first walked in. Great location, a minute walk to the metro. Endless dining options within walking distance, and some wonderful pastisserias (pastry shops) on almost every corner. If you enjoy walking, there are many great sights within a 30 minute walk - Montjuic, Placa d'Espanya, Placa de Catalunya, La Rambla, Cathedral of Barcelona, Centro Commercial Arenas, El Raval, Gothic Quarters, etc. Overall, I highly recommend booking this apartment if you are traveling solo, as a couple, or up to three travelers. I travel to Barcelona twice a year for work, and I plan to stay here any time work calls.
