Javier's place is a real find - close to the Placa Espanya where three really convenient Metro lines converge. It has a great terrace that overlooks a lively courtyard (don't worry, it's quiet at night!) and the apartment itself is really comfortable, with air-con (v. necessary when we went in June!) and other conveniences. It's close to a big supermarket where you can get all the necessary provisions. Javier himself is really friendly and helpful. Don't let this one get away!
