Oriol's home was better than we had expected!! It was really clean, the rooms were large and there were lots of great amenities like shampoo in shower and a good strong Air Conditioning. The beds were incredibly comfortable and so was rest of the home to hang out in.
We had been traveling for three weeks by the time we stepped foot in his apt and we were so relieved and thrilled! Being close to The Sagrada Familia allowed us to appreciate it every day as we passed it to get on the metro, or sat a a cafe. There is a reason it is so visited. One thing I suggest is tour it your first days there. The inside will amaze you and living near it will give you more joy! Oh, and one of the best parts was the elevator to get up to the apartment! No walking many flights of stairs!
Even though Oriol was not there to show us in, his friend, Edison was and that was great! Edison was sweet and kind and gave us any information we needed. I would recommend Oriol's home to anyone traveling to Barcelona.
