We had a very nice stay in Xavier's appartment :
- really looks like the pictures
- the location is ideal, one block from la rambla, near the beautiful placa real, bars and restaurants very close.
- The air conditionning system has been really appreciated as the weather was quite hot.
- Xavier has been very flexible on the time to get and give back the keys and this has been greatly appreciated.
- Only little minus : since it's a living neighborhood, there might be a little bit of noise at night (just in case, bring ear plugs with you :-)
On the overall i'd really recommend this appartment for a stay in Barcelona
