Rick's place is incredible, apartment is huge, brand new and well decorated, I felt like home.
Position was perfect for us, flat is slightly away from crowd and noise but it is well conected with center and Placa Espania by bus. You have bocata place (sandwiches) right in front of building for a quick and cheap breakfast, coffee place, store and restaurants near by.
Rick is an amazing host. Communicative, available at all times and likes to help with local tips. I would recommend booking his place!
