We spent 6 nights in this apartment in Barcelona, and were extremely pleased. We found it was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. Rafael's wife was waiting for us outside the building when we arrived. She showed us the place, gave us some tips, and offered to call for a 6-person cab at the end of our stay. She had also placed a large bottle of water in the fridge for us. There was laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, and other items which we expected to have to buy for our short stay. There are a couple of bakeries and produce shops on the same street, and a supermarket within a 5 min walk. The location was very convenient to Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gracia, and the beautiful Park Guell. Walking to Las Ramblas, Barri Gotic etc is very doable as well. In any case, the metro stop is just around the corner. We used it to go to the beach, visit the stadium, and the fountain at Montjuic. Overall, we loved the apartment, the location, and the hosts went above and beyond. I highly recommend it.
