Joan is an excellent host, though we barely saw him as he was quite busy during our stay. He did take the time to walk us through his lovely (and amazingly located apartment) though. Everything was as described, though the shower needs a bit of a tune-up (which I'm sure will be fine soon). Girona is actually a very nice city to visit, one that we were pleasantly surprised by, and Joan's place is a perfect home base to start from.
