Oriol was a wonderful and most helpful host. He was there to greet us when we went to the apartment. He had kept everything ready. He also explained the locations on the map which he gave us. We were so glad when he offered to book a taxi for the airport....as we had to leave at a very odd hour in the morning.
The location of his place is also very good. It is near the metro station, there are supermarkets around and so also many restaurants to eat.
I would strongly recommend Oriol's apartment for anyone wanting a place to stay in Barcelona.
