The apartment is generally as described in the listing, but could do with some renovations. However, Oliver is a very helpful, kind host. He organised so we could check in early and booked us a taxi for early in the morning when we needed to get to the airport. The location is good, especially for visiting La Sagrada Familia, and is just metres away from a Metro station, so it's easy to access the rest of the city. There are several supermarkets in easy walking distance and lots of restaurants, although the ones closer to the main attractions in Barcelona tend to be more expensive. Just a warning that the bathroom is very small, with a VERY, VERY small shower cubicle...so that when you turn around, you tend to wrap yourself in the shower curtain (like a cocoon) and/or turn the water off...and we are both small people - you can try pushing the shower curtain to one side but the water will go all over the floor. It is also rather noisy at night...even with the windows closed, which then prevents air circulation, as there are no fans. Overall, this apartment is reasonable value for Barcelona, which seems to be more expensive than other Spanish cities we've stayed in.
