Friendly, welcoming, helpful - that, in my experience, sums up Luis. I especially appreciated him loaning me an adapter for my mobile and ipad.
Location was perfect for me, so close to the glorious Passeig de Gacia as well as Placa Catalunya, Las Ramblas etc.
As for the accommodation, the mattress was great, I loved the wooden shutters, the sofa was comfy. Even sharing a bathroom wasn't as problematic as I feared. The only glitch was the lift breaking down on Sunday - climbing 88 steps was a challenge but probably good for me!
