Javi is the BEST!! He does not speak English, but he has a great app on his phone that we communicated with (my Spanish from high school...not so great). Javi’s penthouse apartment (with balcony) is fabulous. The location is perfect (just a block away from the biggest indoor fresh market I have ever seen), tons of restaurants and bars, and mass transit. We prefer walking, and we were able to walk to most everything we did (and used the Hop On Hop Off bus for a couple of days). Javi’s apartment is spotless (you have the master suite with a huge, beautiful bathroom, and large closet with hangers and drawers), and he is an excellent, caring host. If I ever make it back to Barcelona (and I sure hope I do), I would absolutely stay at Javi’s again.
