Charles was a great host. We were in contact a lot before we arrived in Barcelona, which was very helpful and although he was out of town on our actual arrival day, he made sure that someone was there waiting for us when we arrived, who was so kind and helped to get us settled with keys, parking and even bottled water. The apartment itself is fantastic. I am an artist and really appreciate the beauty of the historic building and lovely architectural details of the apartment and how beautifully Charles has made his space. Lots of light and space, great bedrooms, dining room, living room, two bathrooms, French doors and balconies all around - we were very happy for our six days and would love to stay there again. Great location plus Charles left notes in regards to where to shop and dine. Apartment was fully equipped with full kitchen, washer and dishwasher. We made our breakfasts every morning and ate on the balcony. Barcelona gets hot and the apartment has both air conditioning and a ceiling fan. A wonderful place and great experience - thanks Charles !
