I stayed in Oscar's place for four months while completing a graduate program in Barcelona. The biggest value, to me, of the place itself is the location. The apartment is extremely well located; it is very easy to walk or catch public transportation to virtually anywhere in the city and explore beyond just the touristic areas. While the apartment is simply furnished, it has everything you need - particularly the kitchen. In addition to the place, the experience living there was also very positive. Oscar and Jorge (who also manages the property) are extremely accessible and responsive. They are willing to get anything you may need or to get more supplies if something runs out. They also make sure to introduce any new roommates when they arrive. The other guests were always polite and the level of interactions varied. Overall, I made some great friends while here and was very happy to have chosen a more communal living arrangement. I would highly recommend for a longer term stay.
