We enjoyed our stay at Javier's. Although he was busy with work, his friend Vanessa met with us and gave us the tour. We found his place quite spacious for Europe and the terrace was a great bonus!
It is very conveniently located within walking distance to Placa d'Espanya, the magic fountains, and Sants train station. The airport aerobus also stops at Placa d'Espanya, which is what we took when we left to catch our plane. It is a short metro ride to all the main attractions we visited.
Javier was quick to respond during the booking process. We appreciated that he was also very considerate to keep us informed of potential noise problems when some work was done on the building.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay here again the next time we are in Barcelona!
