Right from the beginning my correspondence with Joan was cordial and friendly. He met me outside his place and showed me around. Joan's place is really cool and he has a great view of one of Girona's main attractions from his balcony. Joan's place is a little bit of a walk from the train station but not too bad. The benefit of that is that the place is in the old part of town, right by all the things you want to see and do. There is a cool coffee shop right below at which I was able to access the wifi from the room. It can be a little noisy outside with the people, church bells, and train passing by but I just closed the shutters and turned on the fan and I was fine. Joan provided great things for a continental breakfast like juices, chocolate spread, bread, coffee, cheese, ham slices, butter, jelly, etc. My train didn't leave until 5pm and Joan very graciously allowed me to leave my luggage at his place while I tooled around town. He even drove me to the train station! Super nice!!
