Dear Derek, Thank you so much for helping to make our trip so enjoyable. The
flat was perfect for us and we could not have had such an experience during our
week here without the ideal location. Everything worked out perfectly and the
experience was far superior to staying in a luxury hotel. Sincerely, Neil

Hi Derek
We loved the flat – location was great, décor was tasteful, bed was a little
harder than my back likes, but that is a problem I have in most places!
It was so good being able to walk everywhere, and I loved those little cards
with suggested walks that I found on your bookshelf.
It was a real plus being so near to the 2 Gaudi buildings, so we were able to
be at La Pedrera early enough to beat the crowds.
We did a couple of days of the hop-on, hop-off bus tour to help us to get
our bearings and decide what we wanted to explore further, and of course
that was really close to the apartment as well.
You were right about us not needing a car, so thanks for that advice as well.
I’m sure we’ll come back to Barcelona , as we both loved it, so don’t be
surprised if we contact you again in years to come.

Hola Derek,
Selecciono escribir en castellano por solo la razón para aprender mas
castellano. Nos gustaban mucho vivir en tu casa, es muy bonita y
disfrutabamos la vida en Barcelona. Teniamos que acortar nuestras vacaciones
y regresar a casa porque nuestro perro se sentí muy malo y

Dear Derek,
The location of your apartment was ideal. We were able to do and see alot (
museums, Sagrada Familia, etc.). We wished that we had more time in
Barcelona. We did have a couple of hiccups at the start ( there was a bicycle
race going on when we got in and the streets going to that part of the city
were blocked off for awhile so we were a couple of hours late getting to the
apartment). Soraya met us at the apartment and was gracious and helpful.
Thank you for the use of your apartment. Nellie

Derek, just got back in, I love to travel but I cant say I love the traveling part.
Thank you for your prompt follow up and thanks for sharing your place with
us.
Where do I start.
1) Amazing location, we picked the Aerobus right outside the airport
terminal and it dropped us off right across the stree from the apartment. The
Passeig de Gracia is truly one of the most prestigious areas of the city right
across the street from Casa Battlo and 3 blocks away from Casa Mila. Great
coffee shops and restaurants and La Rambla all within walking distance. All
the tourist attractions within a short walk or a quick hop on the Metro which
was also very conveniently located accross the street.
2) The apartment was lovely and perfect for the my wife and I, spacious yet
cozy at the same time and extremly well supplied. We bought some nice
wines and goodies to snack on at the gourmet shop on Arago and we were all
set. The WI-FI was nice to have.
3) Mariano and the building staff were great . Mariano was a real treat and he
set the tone for the whole with his wa to come. The building porters were
courteous and professional at all times.
4) Last but now least was Barcelona itself, what a fabulous city. We hope to
return soon and we will certainly be contacting you if we do and tell our
friends as well.
Thanks again,
Lenny and Jo Ann Batista

Derek:
Thank you so much for making it possible for us to stay at your apartment. We loved it! We didn´t use the washer as the weather was cooler and so we wore dark clothes. We weren´t sure if the dryer was combined with the washer or not. When we were visiting my daughter in New Zealand she had a unit which was both washer and dryer. We had a problem at the beginning getting the TV tuned into CNN - English version - but Mariani was quite helpful. He is a very nice young man. We also like the woman who did the cleaning even though we could not communicate with her too well.
We had never been to Barcelona before and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while we were there. It is truly a remarkable city and very easy to get around. The day we arrived it was pouring rain, but the weather continued to improve and so we had were able to enjoy walking and sightseeing. You were right. The area of Passeig de Gracia is the best location!!!! We loved the restaurant Citrus and had most of our dinners there because it was so convenient and the food was so good.
I enjoyed having access to your books. The travel books were so useful as we did not have any of our own. It was only at the very last that we discovered the book in which you had highlighted the restaurants along with your comments. Next time, we will have to try some of them out. I enjoyed your books on art and wished that I had more time to spend devouring them.
Again, thank you for being so helpful - right from the very beginning to the time when we finally made our booking. We tried to treat the apartment as our own and I hope that all was OK. The women who cleaned came a bit earlier than we had expected but she then left and came back later.
Again thank you. We would love to stay at your apartment on another occasion as it was a big contributor to our having had such a wonderful visit.

Derek, We thoroughly enjoyed your apartment in Barcelona. It was perfect for
our needs, and in such a great location. I walked one night with a friend
back to the apartment where she was staying because she was nervous about
walking down the dark, quiet street alone at night. I can honestly say that I
never was uneasy at any time near your apartment. Not when I was with my
husband, or when I was alone. The area was always busy, the apartment
lobby well lit and the doorman always in evidence. The apartment itself was
well furnished, quiet, and a great place to come "home" to every night.
Mariano was great, and worked very hard to get the TV and internet working
for us. The kitchen sink was stopped up when we arrived, and when he came
back the day after we arrived to work on getting the TV to work, he also
spent time unstopping the sink and making sure the kitchen was spotless
before he left. If we return to Barcelona in the future, we will surely rent your
apartment again.

Dear Derek
Back to reality.......work!!
Just a bit of elaboration on our Barcelona stay. Thanks again for your insight
in the lead up - our favourite restaurant experience? Taktika Berri!!! Not only
for the food, atmosphere & 'the real thing' experience, it took us to the west
side of Passeig de Gracia which was by far our favourite area - pretty much
from Diagonal to the La Boqueria market (which really was marvellous &
indulged).
We expected a lively culture, history, architecture etc but not at the scale that
is Barcelona. Preferred it to Paris. We loved it, participated in toursit run stuff
in great weather for the first 3 days (including a day trip to Monserrat &
Sitges) & then just took our time walking the areas, consuming & chilling out
using bits of those self guided walking cards in your book case. Barcelona has
about the same population as Perth & metro suburbia but condensed into
about a quarter of the area. No substitute for 2000 years of history i'm afraid.
Perth is as good a home base as you can get, but only with reasonably regular
escapes & we chose the right ones in Barcelona & the old villages in Provence.
Was hard to leave each destination. Ireland was great also.
The apartment was a comfortable & amazingly quiet retreat (thank you for
double glazing) in definitely the best location for us. It was the right choice
for our purpose & so glad we got it.
Anyway, thanks again & all the best. Look us up if you ever get the desire to
travel 30 hours to oz.
Cheers Jeff & Sandy

Hi Derek
Just got back a couple of hours ago and am checking up on all the masses of
work emails before return to work tomorrow! The apartment was great.
Thank
you. The location couldn't be better and it was extremely comfortable. In
fact am going to debenhams to buy a similar duvet as it was so nice! :-)
The young lady who showed us in was very pleasant and helpful and I can
honestly say we had no problems whatsoever.
Thanks again. Wouldn't hesitate to rebook should I ever go again.

Hello there
I stayed at the Passeig de Gracia 44 apartment. There could be no better
location to enjoy the city centre and it's perfect for transportation as well
(Metro, Airbus to the Airport and more). The owner, Mr. Olivares, is very nice
and talks a very good English so there won't be problems with
communication. He made sure we had all the comforts for our stay.
The apartment is warm and welcoming. We stayed in 4 and never had a single
problem with room. Although it's designed for 2, 4 people is the best option
to save some money without having to go away from the centre. Will definitely
consider going back there again and using your website for future vacation
plans.

Encontré su dirección en internet, buscaba un buen apartamento para unos
amigos que venian a visitarme y a los que por cuestiones de espacio no podía
alojar en mi casa. La gestión fue muy fácil. El apartamento justo lo que
necesitaban, tal y como lo tenían descrito en su web. Limpio, perfectamente
situado en la centro de la ciudad, con todas las comodidades , el portero del
edificio super amable....Mis amigos y sus hijos quedaron encantados y yo aún

We had a fantastic holiday in Barcelona and found the apartment to be
terrific. It was exactly as the internet showed and location wise could
not
have been better. To have access to the Metro, supermarket and Tourist
Information office not to mention great Tapas Bars, at our doorstep was
a
bonus, especially when you have two kids in tow.
Sergio, who met us at the apartment was lovely and very understanding of
our
slight problem with getting money out of the bank to pay him in full on
our
arrival. He was more than happy to assist and met us at a central
location
to finalise all details. The doormen at the apartment were very friendly
and
always smiling. My kids thought they were great.
I have already told many friends, both in England and Australia that if
they
travel to Barcelona to look up your website for accommodation. I found
you
by a Google search and very thankful that I did.
If we find ourselves back there at some point I would certainly use your
service again, so thank you for helping to make our stay a great one.
