Jesus was a great host, he was always available and very responsive to our questions. We liked the location of the apartment as it wasn't in a touristy spot but it was only 20 minutes into the central city and it is very close to beautiful Park Guell. We had a great dinner at the small local restaurant across the road and there were also other shops and amenities (supermarket, bakery, metro and bus stops) close by. The apartment was great and had everything we needed, there were four of us but possibly three would be the perfect number as the bathroom comes off one of the bedrooms. But it was not a problem for us and it was a really great base for us during our time in Barcelona, especially as there was parking for our rental car (which isn't always easy to find).
