Oriol waited for us at the apartment with two cold beers, great idea after a long trip (cheers!). The apartment itself is not very large, small and cozy, we had all the necessary to feel "home". Location is pretty good, near a street full of bars and within a 10-15 mins. distance walk to the center of the city. The metro stations are very near and there are supermecatos everywhere.
Overall a good choice to stay in Barcelona.
