The hosts were very attentive, I received a text a few days before the stay to arrange the arrival. Pilar met with us when we arrived and showed us the apartment. Pilar is exceptionally nice and explained everything to us very well, I understand some Spanish so it was no problem that she doesn´t speak English. She especially explained to my teenage sons what to avoid if walking alone in Barcelona or going to bars, which I really appreciated (and they understood her very well even if they do not speak Spanish) . The apartment is really clean and cosy and has all the amenities that you could possibly need for a short stay. It is a nice neighborhood and is in a walking distance from all kinds of restaurants, stores and bars. I really recommend staying in Alex´s, Javi´s and Pilar´s apartment.
