Staying with Juan was the best and luckiest decision we made during our entire 10-day trip to Spain. He is not only a generous and welcoming host, but a truly lovely all-around human. His place is beautiful and spotless, and he has thought of everything (Champagne on the rooftop? Welcome note and chocolates? Firmer pillows? Softer pillows?). When we arrived, he joked that his mission was to have us fall in love with Barcelona, and he succeeded completely. He took time out of his own life to show us all around the city, take us to dinner and desserts (the best food I've had in years), bring us to completely unique shops and street fairs, teach us about the history of the neighborhoods, and treat us to the best views in Barcelona. He even got up early the day we left to say goodbye and make sure we were on track to make our plane. He absolutely changed our experience of the city, and I would insist that any friends or family of mine visiting Barcelona look him up.
