Being placed near the city centre, Jóse's apartment is a great place to spend your vacation. It was a very organised place, with a clear set of rules for the guests, making the stay pleasant and "equal" for everyone. Jóse offered us an "introduction" and tips as soon as we reached his place, and he is a nice and smart person to talk to. Main advantages: You can easily reach public transportation (Monumental metro station is at maximum 5 minutes away). Other advantage is that breakfast is also included. Also, for a good price, you can rent bikes for a city tour directly from Jóse. I would definitely recommend Jóse as a host, and his place for a vacation to Barcelona.
