We have stayed at Oriol’s place for about 3.5 months during our semester abroad. The apartment is cozy and well located. One can reach the beach by foot in 5-7 mins, the university (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) in 12-15 mins and the city center (Placa Catalunya) in about 25-30 mins. Oriol always responded promptly. We would recommend the host and his apartment any time.
