Klaus was a great communicator with us during our planning and our arrival. Klaus wasn't able to to meet us upon our arrival, but had his associate, Elizabet, meet us at the fountain in the center of the Plaza Real, which was very easy to find (we had taken a train to Sants Station and took the subway to the closest Metro station), so the fountain was a great landmark. The apartment was as advertised, but does not look into the Plaza Real, as one might think based on the cover picture on the website. That is probably not a negative, however, as the plaza might be noisy at night with the nightlife, so we were probably in a quieter location. The apartment was very clean and we were greeted with some snacks in the kitchen. The apartment has air conditioning, which was a prerequisite for us, as we knew the days of sightseeing in July might be hot, so it was a nice relief to come home to. The apartment was great for our family of four - there was plenty of room. The location is great - in the Gothic Quarter; we feel we got the true historic flavor of old Barcelona. It was very central to everything that tourists want to see. We were able to walk to everything, including beautiful Barcoloneta Beach.
