Xavier's apartment is located in a great part of town. It's very easy to get to all of the main spots in Barcelona, with the metro and bus stops nearby. The apartment itself feels very homey and offers everything a guest would need. Xavier takes great care of you while you're there, instantly responding to all messages. The lack of elevator wasn't a drawback for us. However, some amenities were quite old and malfunctioning and we experienced a pest issue.
