Was the opponent's(Black) choice of last joseki good?

And what to do now?

Last joseki for Black was fine, but k4 was the wrong direction.

White can continue d6.

I don't know about the black 34 approach, I don't think it is considered joseki, I have played it myself in the past, with decent results I would add, but it seems not recommended at pro level so I stopped doing it. I sometimes see players pull this against my San-San, which is pretty much the same formation, and definitely isn't joseki, but it may only cost a few points, and not really be noticed as a mistake if one isn't playing at a certain level, plus I'm not sure exactly how to respond so, it has that advantage.

He asked about the last joseki.

Yes, I was asking about joseki around move 19.

Black plays G5... How to continue?

White G3 is not joseki. Study more joseki.

Although G3 was played by professionals, it does not happen very often.

You can get a first impression of the Joseki here: http://dailyjoseki.com/browse/bwpwxibwnwwmbxjwvsbwo

But even better when you look it up in a Joseki dictionary.

Thank you all for answers. I thought i saw it in Get strong at joseki 3. But now I see the problem with it(G3)

G3 is a play when there are already other stones close by. Below the exchange of 1 for 2 finishes things locally and White turns elsewhere...

With a wider corner descending at F2 or connecting at G5 are common alternatives:
