Julio's place is amazing, it's really pretty, modern and clean, and is situated just perfectly, close to La Rambla and also to the beach. The Palau Güell is just around the corner.
Julio is a sweet person, and we are thankful that it was no problem that we checked in really late at night, since our flight was delayed and we came to the apartment only at around 1 in the night.
We hope to visit Barcelona again and stay at Julio's place again.. next time when it's already bit warmer (March can be rather cold still).
