Our stay with Javier for 2 months in a double room with a balcony facing the ramblas de poblenou was beautiful. It is a very spacious, cosy and clean apartment with a huge terrace which is ideal for breakfast and other meals in the sun (whether its winter or summer). The kitchen is fully equipped. The apartment is located in a lively, but not busy, street and a ten minute walk to the beach. We were extremely lucky to stay with Javier (and Mercedes). He is a wonderful warm host; happy to answer all your questions - for life, for Barcelona or Catalunya. When they recommend restaurants or other establishments be assured they are without doubt in the know.
