We had a great stay at Javier's home. It is perfectly located for access to the old town and Mont Juic. Javier gave us great local tips, took us for a walk on our first night, was a keen conversationalist, as are we, let us use his washing machine and generally made us feel very welcome. When the weather is hot and the window open, the traffic noise can be a bit loud if you are a very light sleeper.
