I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here at Nestor’s place.
The room and apartment are both very clean and artistic, tasteful spaces I enjoyed. The room itself is very spacious, with lots of storage, and even a fridge, coffee maker and toaster. Nestor provided all the amenities I needed, including coffee and sugar and beer and towels etc. The door is a little delicate and requires practice to close properly and doesn’t lock, but I still felt comfortable and secure in the space.
The location is excellent and more high-end rather than touristy - I felt very safe walking home at night, and it was still a good location to explore with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. It was only a few metro stops away from more touristy places like Mercat de la Boqueria on La Rambla. Metro station was less than 10 minutes away and the bus stop is less than 5 minutes away, so the location is accessible.
Nestor is wonderfully warm and friendly host who is very responsive and was very helpful and welcoming in coordinating a flexible check-in well before my stay. He also remained very responsive over the phone during my stay when I had questions when he was out of the house. He was also very helpful in letting me use his washing machine. He makes a genuine effort to make your stay more enjoyable despite his limited English (which can totally be navigated with some gesturing and translation app). I highly recommend Nestor’s place and would happily stay here again.
