Andrei's apartment is very nice - clean, spacious, and located on a nice quiet street. There is a beautiful terrace which we didn't get to enjoy as the weather wasn't conducive. The location is within easy walking distance of La Rambla, Port Vell etc. It took us less than 30 mins to walk to Sagrada Familia. We were very happy with the apartment and the location.
There was lots of pre-arrival communication, maybe almost too much. We were asked for our arrival time 3 or 4 times, and responded each time, but kept being asked. We also booked a car to the airport via the arrival form we were sent. It turned out to be a regular taxi and it dd not arrive as scheduled. The contact number provided for such an event did work, and the taxi eventually arrived, about 20 minutes late. Probably better, and definitely cheaper, to just book a taxi directly.
