Oriol was an exceptional host, one of the best we have encountered since we started using AirBnB! He was so friendly and helpful that we felt at ease immediately. He even booked a cab for us the morning of our departure! The apartment is perfect for a small family and very well appointed. The neighborhood is great: Quiet and very easy to make one's way around the city. There are many excellent restaurants within walking distance. Oriol recommended tapas on Blai just around the corner and there are many options to choose from. Our favorite Barcelona dining experience was Arume, about a 10 minute walk away. We highly recommend it! We would happily stay at Oriol's place again when we return to Barcelona. An awesome experience all around!
