My sister and I stayed at Juan Jose’s apartment during our time in Barcelona. Not only did Juan let us check in early but he also gave us a great map and gave us many suggestions for places to see around the city. You do share the apartment with other guests but we did not mind this at all. There is enough privacy in your room and sharing the bathroom is not an issue. The place was kept very clean throughout our stay. We would happily stay at Juan’s apartment again!
