Ramon responds quickly to all emails and is very helpful with advice on where to eat and shop. His assistant was waiting for us and dealt promptly with information and collecting the small tax fee. The apartment is a good size and with 2 full bathrooms. Furniture is minimalistic, but the beds are comfortable; however, it is a little tired and needs an update on the bedding and dishes. Be prepared to bring/buy toilet paper, hand towels, soap, shampoo, facecloths. We were each given one bath towel. The little dishwasher is a treat. The kitchen has a microwave, drip coffee maker, toaster, kettle. Street noise affects the front bedroom (everyone is out strolling in the evening) but it eventually settles down. Once you are touring Barcelona, you realize just how excellent this Gotic location is with regards to all the important sites. Almost everything is within walking distance. It is a clean area as garbage is picked up nightly and the streets are washed daily. We felt quite safe. There is a wonderful restaurant right next door (Xaloc) which serves delicious food at fair prices. Over several days, we sampled our way through their tasty menu. The pastry shop out the door (Caelum) is without compare. There is a little market across and down the street which sells all the necessities. On the whole, good value and a super location.
