xaviers place is awesome! we had nice chats and fun with the flatmates as well. the communication with xavier was very good. the flat itself is an artwork with lots of things to discover since xavier is an artist and collector of interesting things. the room was very quiet since its on the backside of the building but its located in a very nice neighbourhood with lots of nice bars and restaurants. everything important is in walkable distance but theres also a very nice bike rental shop in the same street where you can rent everything from skateboards, bmx bikes, singlespeed, fixed gears up to a fgfs bike. we loved being able to ride "authentic" bikes.
we really enjoyed our time in bcn due to our hosts and the nice neighbourhood and would definately recommend xaviers place!
