Four of my friends and I recently stayed at Xavier's apartment for 3 days and the home was more than comfortable. the apartment is located in the heart of the Gothic district and you can find the bustling La Rambla center a stones throw from the front door. We were able to easily tour the whole city easily in a couple days. Also, he is a great guy and was able to help us with any issues we had. if we come back to Barcelona, we would definitely stay at Xavier's again.
