Xavi’s place is in a fantastic central location, steps from the Arc. There is plenty to see walking in any direction and there is a metro and bus stop nearby. Xavi was kind enough to let us check in late due to our late flight arrival and he stayed up to show us around his place and give us tips for where to go in Barcelona. There’s a shared bathroom and kitchen with space allotted for each of the rooms to store their things. My biggest regret is that we didn’t have more time there.
The one downside is the room is a central room with no windows to the outside. This means less light and air flow but we had expected that based on other reviews and there was a fan in the room so it didn’t take away from our experience. It could be too hot for some during the hotter months though. I’d definitely recommend staying at Xavi’s place, but looking to see if the other rooms are available first.
