Very pleasant and easy experience from the info and reservation phase all the way through to our departure. We were in touch with Paul who was extremely responsive at all times. The apartment is centrally located and very well appointed, as described. Easy walk to all of the great places around BCN. Paul greeted us and provided all necessary info on arrival. Everything worked fine and was easy and convenient. We spent Xmas week and were able to find wonderful food at the nearby mercado de Sant Antoni. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and in the Raval. Great French bakery a block away. Highly recommended apartment with great hosts!
