Xavier's apartment was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Barcelona. It was within walking distance of the metro, supermarkets, some great restaurants as well as Park Guell & the Familia Sagrada. Although we didn't meet Xavier in person he arranged for a lovely young lady, Marcela, to meet us upon our arrival. She was a delight & provided us with all the information we needed to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. The apartment itself was spotless & had all the amenities we could have wished for, including a small dishwasher. There was a good supply of hot water for showers, important after a long day of walking & exploring. Xavier was always quick to respond to any queries we had & even arranged for a taxi to the airport when we were leaving. I can't recommend Xavier & his wonderful apartment highly enough.
