Oriol was very welcoming, helping us up in the elevator with our luggage. He let us in to drop off the luggage even if we were several hours too early. He had a street map and a subway map ready for us and told us about the neighbourhood and how to get around in Barcelona. Ther apartment was nice and clean with everything we needed, even a small balcony. The walls were rather thin, so you could hear the neighbours quite well, but they were not noisy and went to bed early, so we were not really bothered by it. The apartmentt was located in a nice and quet area with a pedestrian street with tons of tapas bars and restaurants just one block away. The subway was only a few blocks away and La Rambla and everything else was within walking distance. It was absolutely a place I would stay again.
