Nico's place is as described - it actually exceeded our expectations! Apartment is lovely and modern, nicely laid out. Though apartment is on 5th floor, the building does have a lift. We made use of the private terrace in early mornings where we had tea. It's away from the city, but very close to a metro (5 mins walk) which was handy as we would be travelling back from the city late in the evening. We stayed in late June 2018 when the temperature was climbing, but the AC worked a treat! Nico greeted us on arrival and gave us advise on places to visit and eat. Communicating with Nico was no problem at all; questions were answered quickly. We (my wife and our two daughters) really enjoyed Barcelona, made better by staying in Nico's apartment. Would definitely come back to stay again as it suited us.
