Juan checked in a few days before our arrival and we did our best to coordinate the check in. There were a few misunderstandings so check in wasn't perfect, but we made it in. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and in a perfect location for us. I felt comfortable letting our older kids wander around the neighborhood on their own. The local restaurant and souvenir shop owners were very nice and helpful. We had a great time in Barcelona and would definitely consider staying at Juan's apartment again.
