Ricard was a wonderful host. He accommodated me for an earlier check-in and was available for any questions that I had. Although I have stayed in Barcelona many times over the years, for those unfamiliar there is a lot of useful information about the city available in the apartment, and Ricard is happy to recommend places to go. The apartment is beautiful, with comfortable furniture, plenty of space, two bedrooms, plenty of closet space, excellent wi-fi, a cute balcony where you can sit, a great bathroom with plenty of hot water and water pressure. it has heating and air conditioning, and a brand new elevator. The street is near all conveniences but very quiet, a perfect location if you like Gracia and it is adjacent to more than one metro station and walking distance to many of the sights in the Eixample. Ricard made me feel like I was at home during my stay, and I plan to stay again!
