Rafael was a good host, answered when we contacted him and give us our space an d privacy. The apartment is exactly as it seems in the photos, clean, spacious and big. The location is perfect, slightly off the tourist area, but a 5 minute walk takes you to a lively square and a 20 minute walk to all the big areas. If you don't enjoy walking, a not so expensive cab ride or the metro across the street.
I recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona with a family or a group of friends.
