This place was perfect for our week in Barcelona. Xavi's place was amazing. The outdoor area is beautiful and inside he has everything you could ever need. I was bummed one of the days because I forgot to bring an umbrella and it was raining pretty bad but luckily he has multiple umbrellas available for us to use. You also practically have the whole building to yourself because the bottom two floors are used by a small business making clothing and they are only there in the morning. The location is great with bars and restaurants right outside and the subway a few minute walk away. We didn't rent a car or use a taxi the while trip (except for the taxi we took at the end of the trip back to the airport which Xavi had arranged for us for a discount :). Xavi was the best host I have had at any of the airbnb's I have stayed at. He gave us a crash course on Barcelona when we first arrived and offered recommendations. I highly recommend staying at one of Xavi's places, you won't regret it.
