Angel was there to meet us when we arrived at 7:30am. A very nice man.
He walked us through the entire flat, which is as upscale and comfortable as advertised, and left us with a helpful guide to the home and neighborhood. Art on the walls. An umbrella. Books and other Barcelona-specific resources. A few amenities in the fridge. Fresh flowers on the table! It was a truly comfortable flat, with smart attention paid to details.
Angel checked in on us a couple days after our arrival, and he was there to see us off at 7:30am a week later. He's a first-rate host and it shows.
We're especially glad we stayed in the Eixample -- a hip, elegant neighborhood, close to all the action yet removed from the noisier Old City.
