David's place is convenient, and truly makes you feel as if you're home away from home. I was travelling solo and was in Barcelona for the first time. But the stay was wonderful - and I didn't have any difficulties as well getting around from his place. It was also quite easy to get a can to the airport since there is a taxi stand right at the opposite side of the street.
David was extremely welcoming and warm, and knew how to treat a guest well - gave sufficient privacy, but he is contactable if you need assistance.
You need to be quiet though as the walls are thin, as David always says.
All cool.
It's near to some restaurants, safe area to walk around in, even at night - and there is a soon-to-be-up Market that's currently being constructed.
The room I got had a good Balcony area, and you can leave the balcony doors open and it's all good.
Next time you're in Barcelona, consider David's place.
