Barbara is an excellent host, she was in touch and responsive before our arrival, met us near the apartment on time, spent time with us upon our arrival to provide recommendations and even booked a taxi back to the airport when we needed to leave! The apartment was clean and in good order (as per pictures). The location is excellent, in the 19-20 centuries "square blokes" part of Barcelona, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby and easy access to all major attractions.
