Ruben's apartment was awesome! We stayed in Ruben's apartment as a couple, and with visiting friends and family. Ruben is responsive, took the time to show everything about the apartment, and really takes care of his apartment. The apartment is cleaned, nicely decorated, and has everything needed for long (or short-term) stays. The balcony is especially nice - it was great to have a cup of coffee on the balcony to watch the sunrise or drinks while the sun is setting. The views are phenomenal. You will find a nice grocery store (Caprabo), bars and restaurants, and a subway station within a 5-10 minute walk from the apartment. Parc Guell is literally around the block from the apartment. While the apartment is on a hill, there is a shuttle bus (#116) that has a free transfer from the Lesseps subway station and will drop you off steps from the front of the apartment building. Overall, Ruben was a very good host and the apartment exceeded our expectations. We would definitely return.
