Juan did everything he could to make me feel comfortable. He picked me up from the train station and made me dinner after arrival. Actually, he wanted to make me breakfast every morning, which I turned down, because I don't get hungry until lunch time.

The room and bathroom are exactly as shown in the photos. Very clean and good quality furniture. The view from the terrace is great and there is a hiking trail going up the hill just behind the house. You have a fantastic view of Barcelona from up there. If you follow the trail it will take you all around the city.

Internet speed is extraordinary in Juan's house. I have a 100 Mbit line at home. Juan must have something even faster. I was impressed.

You should know that the house is located on a hill. If you are a good walker, the short walk from the Metro stop won't bother you, plus it's scenic. If you don't like walking uphill, you can take a bus. I never thought it was necessary.

I wish Juan's English had been better (or my Spanish). There was a lot of stuff I would have liked to talk about, but couldn't.

To sum it all up: if you want to explore Barcelona, but prefer a quiet and scenic place to stay, Juan is the way to go.
