ludo is an amazing host and apartment is super cute! the apartment is located in a beautiful building built in 1800s and the neighbors are cordial and polite. it is two blocks from place sants which is wonderful for taxi and metro, grocery, coffee, and food! it's amazing when you come to a city like barcelona and live with locals as opposed to the tourism production of most cities. ludo accepted a late check in and waited for me after i had huge delay in passport control/immigration. he also walked me to the main boulevard and gave advice for locker luggage and things to do in barcelona- which put me at ease since i was traveling solo. the apartment is cozy and has things like blow dryer, space heater and utensils, which i didn't think i needed until i did. it also has a bookcase with info on sites to see and emergency numbers and FAQs (how to reach ludo, wifi, luggage locker and transportation questions). 4/5 stars because my body oil exploded in suitcase and leaked onto sheets. additional bedding and towels would make the space even better. thanks ludo for a great stay!
