Xavier’s place would be great for a 2-4 night stay, but we stayed for 10 nights and it was not set up well to accommodate that. We needed clean towels about 4 days in, but there were none. We had to request additional toilet paper and soap as well. Location is fine, but not as hip or vibrant as El Born or other neighborhoods. Being next to a grocery store was great though. Space is big, which is nice, but decor and feel of the space is pretty old and outdated. Kitchen and bathrooms were great. The biggest issue we had was that my boyfriend was unable to connect to Xavier’s WiFi the entire trip - not sure what the problem was, but it was a huge issue that we were never able to solve.
There are great things about Xavier’s place as well though: the space, super nice and easy to communicate with, lots of closet space, nice bathrooms and kitchen, left incredibly helpful information on Barcelona, and has a washer/dryer.
All things considered, Xavier’s place was a solid value and we loved Barcelona.
