Max was very helpful. Even though he couldn't meet us personally, his friend (with a Russian guy!! :)) met us at the apartment and gave the keys.
The location is great. 5 minutes from metro, you can see Sagrada Familia from the window. Several grocery stores nearby.
There's everything you may need in the apartment. Kitchen is full of useful stuff. Cozy bed, big table and two shelves in the cupboard. It was a bit cold in the evening, but there was a portable heater.
We've stayed for 10 days in Max's apartment,5 days there was nobody else, so we really enjoyed our New Year celebration in Barcelona! Highly recommended.
By the way, housemate of Max was also very nice and helpful!
Best regards,
Katerina and Aleksei.
