Oriol was a welcoming and courteous host, along with his mother, Montse (who lives next door), and his sister, Marta, who coordinated logistics from California. A true family affair! It was a wonderful stay in all respects and my interactions with Oriol were wonderful. We had conversations ranging from sport (we both love F.C. Barcelona) to world politics, all in my broken Spanish :-). In regards to the space, the apartment was exactly as advertised and located in an excellent part of the city. It was clean, comfortable and excellent all around. I highly recommend.
