We never met Jose but communication on phone and thru msging was great. He allowed to check in 2 hours earlier which was greatly appreciated. His dad explained everything about appartment how it works etc. The location was perfect for us since we prefer to stay among locals not in tourist areas. Highly recommend to use metro to get to/from airport. It is very easy even with luggage with elevators everywhere. Jose gave us very good tips where to go and eat like locals. He likes his city and wanted us to fell in love with Barcelona. Which we did.
