We really enjoyed our 2 night-1day stay at Joan’s place en route from Cadaques to Barcelona. The apartment is in a super central location, literally at the foot of the cathedral steps. It is a 20 min walk from the train station. Or ask a taxi to take you to the Cathedral. The apartment itself is smallish but very nice. Both the living room, and guest bedroom face onto the plaza at the bottom of the cathedral steps which is constantly busy during the day (starting around 10am) with travelers and tour groups. All of this can be observed from the living room balcony. Activity tapers off rapidly in the evening, so noise during the night is not a problem. Also, the bedroom window provides good sound proofing. The narrow streets of the old town, the old city wall, the Jewish Quarter, etc are right outside the door and are magical to explore early in the morning or late in the evening when the tour groups have left. Also, there are a large number of fine eating and drinking choices scattered all over the old town. Communication with Joan via SMS was very smooth leading up to our stay. Joan was at work when we arrived but his father met us at the apartment exactly at the arranged time, showed us in, and gave us the keys. Because of our short stay, and Joan’s busy work schedule, we did not see him much during our visit, so it felt like we had the apartment to ourselves. He did however provide us with a comprehensive list of dining and sightseeing recommendations via SMS. In summary, we had a great stay, and we recommend Joan’s place to all traveling singles and couples.
