We had a wonderful stay with Paco. His home is beautiful, and our room was very comfortable. Paco is generous in sharing his knowledge of the areas and recommendations. My recommendation is to follow his recommendations! :-)
We had a car while staying with Paco, and I think it would be difficult without one... with the car, Girona was only a short drive away, but without a car, one would be quite limited. I rented a bicycle during the time I was at Paco's home. He let me keep it in the basement, and his home was a convenient point of departure for some of the best cycling in the world.
