We could not have asked for a better base for exploring Gracia and Barcelona than Xavi's loft. It was ideally located in Gracia, with tons of restaurants and bars and endless opportunities to wander, yet still close to two metro lines for easy access to other parts of the city. Xavi's loft is bright, open, and very comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen and lovely terrace. Xavi himself was very welcoming, communicative, and accessible throughout our entire stay, even organizing transport to the airport for us. We had a lovely time, and if we go back to Barcelona, we would hope to stay at Xavi's loft again.
