Oliver is an excellent host...his food recommendations were brilliant as was his knowledge of Barcelona. He walks the walk (we found him with his family at a gorgeous seafood restaurant he recommended). The apartment was clean and stylish but families with kids will need to stay alert as it is not fully child proof, lots of breakable ornaments, no lock on one of the sliding doors to the balcony, and a lockless window -heater- bed combo in the main bedroom that is very dangerous for intrepid young climbers and door openers. Overall though location and amenities were great and we would love to stay here again.
