We didn’t get to meet Josep but he was friendly and responsive in all his communications from the start.
His cosy apartment is in a secure building in a central location - we were within walking distance of the Sants train station and even closer to the metro.
The apartment was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed: fridge, washing machine, microwave, crockery / cutlery, iron, hairdryer, bathroom toiletries and spare pillows. The shower is spacious and has great water pressure.
Given the heat in Barcelona, it was wonderful to have the air conditioning.
The Festa Major was on when we stayed at Josep’s apartment so the streets were very lively throughout the evening and we had a real sense of the Barcelona atmosphere, yet once you shut the doors and windows, it was quiet and peaceful.
The best part of our stay was the warm welcome from Josep’s associate, Ángeles, who checked us in. She is a gem!
She was ready and waiting, and just so warm and friendly. She gave us great tips on using the metro, where to go, eating out etc and when we had any questions, she was prompt to respond. She really was such a genuinely lovely person (and great sense of humour), it made all the difference to us.
I would be happy to stay at Josep’s apartment again.
