The apartment is nice, ample, clean, had everything we needed including a clothes washer, dishwasher, the kitchen was well equipped. There are two grocery stores nearby and also a fruit and veggie shop a half block away. There are a couple of restaurants nearby and an ice cream shop. Park Gueill is a 15 min walk away. To get to most other touristic places you have to get on public transportation. Metro stop is about a block and a half away. Taxis are everywhere near apartment. The neighborhood where apartment is is nice, safe and walkable. Oriol was a great host, was there for check in, gave us many helpful tips, was very quick to respond and communicate. He even gave us a few toys for our kids to play while we were there.
