Ricardo was an excellent host for us as we stayed at this apartment for 2 nights for a short business trip. Our flight had been delayed by hours causing for a very late arrival. We called Ricardo and he was very understanding and said that is was not a problem and that he would be there waiting. Truly went above and beyond. He was incredibly friendly and had some good advice as far as local tips. The apartment itself was spacious and is true to the listing in that it has modern flair to it. We did not spend much time in the apartment but it suited our needs perfectly and most of all the location is fantastic if you are interested in being central in Barcelona in the beautiful neighborhood of Gracia.
