Our stay at Javier's property in Vila de Gracia was as good as it gets. The apartment was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. We traveled with two children and all of us lived enjoyably for several days with room to spare. Every amenity we needed was here as listed in the air BNB website. In addition to the comfort we felt in the apartment

Javier himself also took great care to ensure a pleasant stay for us. For a small additional fee he had a driver pick us up and drop us off at the airport and he made several (spot on) suggestions for our family in terms of restaurants and activities. Javier was a joy to work with and his place was a joy to stay at. We recommend it highly also because of the lively square right outside where you can get great dinners, drinks, fresh bread, produce and gelato all within 50 feet of your door! Another nice feature: if and when the din of the crowd gets to be too much you can just shut the virtually sound-poof windows and it's as quiet as a library inside. If you are going to Barcelona you owe it to yourself to consider this place to stay.
