John was an excellent host and the flat was actually much larger and more open than we had expected from the photos. John thought of everything and had many nice touches like extra water and a great library of books. Highly recommended for Barcelona visitors who want to avoid the craziness of La Rambla and the ultra touristy areas. The location in San Antoni was excellent with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants with fabulous foods and filled with local folks, yet only 10 to 20 minutes by taxi from most of the well known attractions.
