Juan Jose greeted us at the apartment and immediately pointed out some of the sites that you can see from the Balcony, most famously the Sagrada Familia. He quickly and efficiently went through the expected (sightseeing options, menus, customs, etc), giving us a bit of history to the apartment, and very generously offering to sort out transportation back to the airport for our return home. Apartment was as you'd expect -- cool tile floors for early summer days, shutter doors opening to the street scene below, and friendly neighbors who greeted us kindly and went on their way. We would happily stay at Juan Jose's again.
