Angel is a marvelous host. We were somewhat late in arriving and he was waiting in good cheer. Excellent communication. When we had a question he got back to us immediately. The studio is charming, nicely decorated. It's a private refuge. Really quite lovely, with a large sunny deck. It is a five floor walk up so you need to be prepared for that. Except for the first climb when we had to haul our suitcases up the stairs jet lag and all, I was not bothered by the lack of an elevator. It is in a wonderful neighborhood -- Gracia -- and couldn't be more conveniently located, just steps from the metro. Highly recommended. Both Angel and the apartment added much to our stay in Barcelona.
