Joan was very accommodating and provided great information for easily getting to his apartment he met us very late at night to let us in apartment and get us situated. He even helped us with our very large bags up the narrow staircase. Apartment is located about 15 minute walk from Las Ramblas and La Boqueria. From train station Saint Antoni it's only 10-15 to Sagrada Familia. Nice neighborhood, relatively quiet with little shops. Apartment overall was comfortable and suited needs for 2 nights for 2 people. AC worked efficiently. Beds were comfortable and clean. Joan provided a little book with all info for using items in apartment and directions to common sites so very detailed host.
