What can we say about Jon and this wonderful penthouse that hasn’t already been said? What praises can we heap onto the other posts about Jon and the property? All I can say is that everything you read is true. The property is spectacular. The location is a few blocks from Plaza Catalunya; the amenities (including washer and dryer and dishwasher) are top-notch.
We travel a lot and have for years. We’ve stayed in everything from dumps to Ritz Carltons--and everything in between. Thanks to the Internet, and dogged research, we’re rarely surprised any more. Properties are generally about what we expect. Super Hosts are generally just that—super.
That said, this property exceeded our expectations. Jon’s communication was fast and efficient. He was on time in meeting us. He explained, in depth, the apartment and the area, and gave us tips on restaurants, events, and so forth. He said we could contact him at any time with questions or concerns. He left us with snacks and wine to start our holiday. The night before a day when rain was expected, he left two additional umbrellas by our front door, as well as another bottle of wine.
My favorite part of the apartment was the penthouse deck. In down times, we sat outside on the loungers and read, enjoying the sunshine and privacy. Another added plus was the fireplace. We were chilled on a day it rained, and sat in front of the fire with a glass of the lovely red wine Jon provided. I can wholeheartedly recommend this apartment. You won’t be disappointed.
