We flew in from San Francisco with a friend family for a few days for a soccer game in December 2017, and stayed in Joseph's apartment. The apartment is exactly as in the pictures, very clean, and it's worth mentioning there are several bathrooms and the heating, showers & warm water all worked great. The location is excellent, in an area filled with restaurants and shops, within walking distance of the Gothic quarter and just a block away from a metro stop, on the line that connects to Sacrada Familia. It was amazing to wake up in the morning, open the curtains, and see the morning sunlight glimmer on the chimneys of Gaudi's famous townhouse Casa Batllo across the street (we walked over and toured it using the audio guides available at the door, recommended!) The apartment is also next door to Mandarin Oriental hotel, which has taxis queued in front of it most of the time - super convenient in a town that doesn't currently have Uber or Lyft. There's a pharmacy around the corner, and a convenient tapas place across the street that serves until 1 AM - perfect for a quick bite after arriving from the airport.
