I find Julien a very interesting person and it's a pity we didn't have more time to spend together. Staying with him was a great experience, he has very cosy appartment, full of musical instruments (we even were allowed to use his piano), books and curios ethnical details. You will have tourist guides in different languages and lots of suggestions where to go in Barcelona. The pictures and description show exactly the appartment, we felt like at home, were allowed to use all rooms, cook food in the kitchen and even make some ironing. I really enjoyed the balcony in our room and the roof, which Julien showed us together with the apartment. The area around is just cozy with all these little streets, food market in 2 mins from the house (you should try tapas there and buy traditional spanish Orchata for your homies), very beautiful cathedral in 5 mins on foot and, of course, lots of places to visit and have a meal. It's really city center of Barcelona close to all sightseeings, sea port and transportation system. Julien explained where to find the right night bus to the airport (it's like 10 mins on foot from the house) and made our travel much easier. His cat is very friendly, as a host himself :) We were allowed to made check in earlier and to leave our bags for the whole next day for free. That was just amazing, because Julien told us to keep the key and take our laggage back in suitable for us time late in the night (like 3-4 a.m., we had the flight early in the morning), when everybody in the appartment were sleeping. I think it tells a lot about the host, who trust and respect people in his house. Higly appreciated, thanks a lot again! Would definitely stay again and would recommend to all visiting Barcelona.
