We stayed here 9 nights in April. Oscar (the host) was great. He helped us carry our luggage to the apartment (4th floor) and gave us plenty of Tipps and suggestions what to do during our stay. The apartment itself was nice, clean and very new. Unfortunately the recent renovation caused some inconvenience. The hallways had a strong chemical smell due to the fresh paint. Also you could still hear some construction going 0 in other parts of the building. These initial problems are likely to be sorted out soon, but as of now i can only give it 4 star. Overall we had a great time in Barcelona.
