Roger is the perfect host; he sent us beforehand very useful information about the flat, and Barcelona, was quick to respond to all our questions and was truly concerned that our experience would be enjoyable. Flor, who changed linen etc. on a weekly basis, was also very friendly and helpful. The flat itself was clean and everything in there up to standard. We liked the neighborhood, in spite of the fact that it is half-residential and half-industrial, especially after we discovered the local 'Rambla' which is three blocks away from the flat. We preferred this place to the more turistic parts of town. It took us only about 10 minutes to walk to the beach and about the same time to take the metro to the city center.
