Mod takes being a host to a new level of excellence. He was waiting for us at the bus stop in Placa de Catalunya and took us the short distance to the apartment. This places him in the heart of the Gothic district, but up a side street so the guest has a central location but quiet residence. As the facilities are shared (only one room has its own bath) Mod is particular about ensuring the bathroom is kept spotless. The rooms are newly decorated and of a good size for a couple. We spent 4 nights with Mod and found everything to our liking. We only had breakfast there but found the facilities appropriate. During our stay he went out of his way to assist us with places to eat and visit. His suggestion of a sunset overlooking Barcelona from El Carmel was a great way to end a hugely enjoyable visit to Barcelona
