Phil greeted us upon arrival. He was very enthusiastic and helpful. He also offered up lots of tips and suggestions that proved to be very helpful. The apartment is in a residential area about a 10 min walk from Las Rambla. The apartment has everything you need. For some the walk up the stairs to the top level may be hard but honestly don't let that discourage you. We had no issue with it. Also, a very nice surprise is just around the corner there are bakeries, terraces, cafes, etc... So if you are to tired after a day of site seeing this was very convenient.
