We had a wonderful stay at Geri's apartment. He helped us out in a crisis when the hosts we had booked with cancelled at the last minute, whilst we were en route to Barcelona. He was an excellent host and went out of his way to help us. He gave really good advice regarding what to see and do in Barcelona. He and his lovely partner Raluca invited us to dine with them (food was delicious and he and Raluca were excellent company) and the helped us get our luggage to the car.
Geri's apartment is exactly as described and a lovely place to relax in. It is situated in a lovely area away from the crowds of La Rambla but close to all amenities such as the metro, 15 minutes from Sagrada Familia (a must see) and a 30 minute walk to a great beach far away from drunken tourists. It is opposite a great market (we recommend the pasta stall) and in the evenings the area around the apartment is filled with residents enjoying the balmy weather. We loved it!
