My friends and I flew into Barcelona, and Javier was very helpful with arrival and departure. He called a cab for us for our trip to and from the airport. We never met him, but he was friendly and hospitable on the phone. The house itself is in a great location. There are many great bars, shops, and restaraunts within a 5 minute walk of the appartment. There weren't a ton of amenities in the appartment, but we weren't there all that often, so it wasn't a big deal.
