Oscar was an especially thoughtful host. He met us at theapartment and walked us through all the things we needed to know. He provided us with some fresh food for our first breakfast and also a bottle of cava. The location of the apartment is excellent, close to a wonderful neighborhood of tapas bars/restaurants, and just a few steps from a metro stop and a bus stop. We were able to go to all of the major Barcelona sights using public transportation. I would stay here again.
