Jose has created a wonderful private space for his guests in his very well attended to flat. I was completely independent and comfortable during my short stay in Barcelona. I was traveling alone and felt safe and respected as Jose's guest.
Jose provides his guests with some fruits, chocolates, and other food items, as well as use of his nicely kept kitchen. His flat is in a great area close to transport and in walking distance of parks and neighborhoods for exploring.
If you're looking for a little space to call your own while in Barcelona, I highly suggest staying with Jose.
