Ester was warm and welcoming upon my arrival. Met me to show apartment and hand me the keys. Location was terrific. Tapas bars a few steps from the front door. Pedestrian-only street, lively and safe. Bus stops a block away and metro 2 blocks away. Walk 20 minutes to Las Ramblas, 30 minutes to the Marina, 20 minutes to Plaza de Espanya. Apartment was as described. It was clean, comfortable and everything worked.
