We have only good words to say about Xavier and the apartement. The previous comments from the visitors are all true - the place is perfect, it has good location, everything is in the walking distance - the grocery store, shopping streets, public transport, sightseeings, even the Barceloneta beach is not very far if you like to walk :) The apartment itself has everything you could wish for, there were five of us and it didn't feel crowded. Xavier is very quick replying to the messages and always helpful. We definitely suggest his place for staying in Barcelona.
