the apartment was lovely and lived up to the expectations from the photos on the website. it was a shame that we didn't get to meet them on arrival as they were away so their friend showed us everything. but we did have several e mails and they responded to my e mails when we were there and always responded immediately.
the apartment is in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from a metro and also just a few minutes from the Sagrada Familia which is a major visitor attraction. also easy to walk into the more central part of barcelona - about 15 minutes walk. It also felt very safe and there was a good bakery and a good supermarket just round the corner.
We greatly appreciated them leaving us milk and bread, tea and jams so that we could have a drink on arrival without having to rush out and buy them.
