Kristaps met us at the train station and gave us a lay of the land on our way to the apartment. When we arrived, he gave us a tour of the place and made sure we had everything we needed, including recommendations to restaurants and cafeterias were we could get the biggest bang for our buck/euro. The apartment was very comfortable during the week that we stayed in Barcelona, and the ability to use everything (fridge, kitchen - including utensils, and clothes washer) made our lives so much easier. Although the street could get loud at times, this was solved by simply closing the windows and turning the fan on.
