Our Host Juan and his Wife Veronica were very welcoming and helpful. Juan met us and showed us around his apartment, gave us maps of Barcelona and offered us discounted bus tickets. The apartment was wonderful. Exactly like the photos! VERY clean, great location and just a few hundred metres from La Ramblas and Catalunya. It had everything you would need. The kitchenette was very well equipped and there was even a hairdryer and washer/dryer. We were also treated to the celebrations of Barcelona FC winning the football championship - very special. There were many shops and restaurants nearby and public transport was everywhere. I would recommend the bus tours as they give you a great overview over this wonderful city.
Juan also allowed us to store our luggage prior to boarding our pm train to Bilbao. That was much appreciated. We were 2 couples from Australia and Pelayo Attic Deluxe was the perfect way to start our vacation. Hopefully one day we will be back!
