We could not have had a better host than Charles. The flat is in a great location and is very well appointed - walking distance from all of the sights and two metros (Girona - yellow and Tetuan - purple). Short distance from the beaches as well via Girona. Charles will hook you up with great places to eat, drink and visit, also avoiding the tourist masses. One thing to note - when I arrived I was feeling a bit under the weather and ended up having strep throat. I contacted my travel insurance agent who was going to send me about 10km to a doctor. Charles recommended the CAP health center which was 4 blocks away. I was in and out with antibiotics in 45 minutes and on the beach 20 minutes later. Highly recommend this place to anyone traveling in Barcelona. Thanks Charles!!
