Pau's place is wonderful and Pau is a fantastic host! Pau was able to accommodate an early check-in without even a question. He responds to messages almost right away. At one point, the toilet had a problem and he was at the space in twenty minutes to fix it. The apartment is really well located. It's far enough away from the tourist areas, yet I walked everywhere (beach is about a 15 - 20 minute walk, Gothic Quarter about 25 minutes , Sagrada Familia also about 25 - 30 minutes). In addition, there is a restaurant right downstairs, so on the couple of nights that I didn't want to go anywhere, I was able to get some take-out and enjoy it in the living room in front of the tv. I definitely recommend Pau and his flat.
