I had a very pleasant stay at Damien's place overall. Let me do a quick rundown of the pros and cons of the place.
Pros:
- Great location! The Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, the Barri Gothic are all just a short walk away and all other attractions are easily reachable - especially since Damien can set you up with a GoCar as well.
- Catering: you can opt for having your grocery shopping done for you and awaiting you in your apartment upon arrival. Convenient.
- Lots of advice and assistance with planning your exploration of Barcelona should you need it.
- People on call (and I think on site) should you need immediate assistance with the apartment.
Cons:
- The shower stall is tiny. You need to be careful not to bump into the stall doors or the faucet when taking a shower.
- The full stone flooring looks very stylish but (possibly apart from summertime) is a bit too cold. Stepping out of bed onto the cold floor is a bit of a shock in the morning.
- The couch looks a bit more run-down than on the pictures.
