Xavier was a gracious and amazing host during what was a very difficult time for Barcelona. He went out of his way to make sure we felt comfortable and had the best holiday possible. The apartment itself is centrally located in the very charming Poble-Sec, an easy 10 minute walk from the main tourist attractions. Poble-Sec itself is lined with the best tapas/pintxos tapas and cocktail bars, lively in the afternoon and at night. We highly recommend a stay w/ Xavier and are very grateful for his hospitality.
