Carles had the place ready for us and was there early. He had prepared very helpful maps to get us from the apartment to the university where we were attending a conference. The place was very comfortable and it was great to come back to a home each day and have room to spread out. Three of us had plenty of room. The rooms were just like the pictures on the airbnb site. The market downstairs was so convenient and well-stocked and we shopped there almost every day. We really liked being in the neighborhood. which wasn't full of a lot of tourists. The restaurants worked really hard with us to help us get good food given our lack of skills in the local languages.
