Mike was friendly and gracious and accommodating when we arrived in Barcelona around 8:30 PM, kindly suggesting a couple of spots to grab a quick bite to eat that evening. Throughout our stay he was great, he checked up on our status via whatsapp, made sure everything was satisfactory

The apartment itself is lovely, every evening we walked in to the soft scent of wood ( the renovation has made extensive use of natural wood finishes ). The design is well thought out, it feels much bigger than it actually is. The kitchen is efficient and well-equipped for a short-term rental, the bed is comfortable, and it even has laundry facilities.

There was one minor downside for those used to hotel stays - the hot water does run out fairly quickly - but once that was figured out, it was not an issue at all. Everything considered, the neighborhood, the city, the apartment, the host - our stay in Barcelona was greatly enhanced by Mike and the apartment, made it a 5-star experience.
