This apartment was perfect. The location was great - a very short walk to Las Ramblas and plenty of small plazas full of bars and tapas restaurants. The apartment itself was just like the photos - spacious, spotlessly clean and bigger than we thought. The AC was a welcome relief in the July heat too. The communication from Xavier was excellent from the initial booking to departure. He met us at the apartment to give us instructions to enter the building and apartment. We only stayed one night but he kept our small cases so we could go for lunch before heading to the bus station, which saved us walking around the city with our luggage. We have no hesitation in recommending this fabulous apartment to anyone. I can’t wait to go back!
