James is a great, very smiley guy! He is a very warm host and always very helpful! His home is magnificent with a beautiful collection of decorations all around. A very clean apartment, with a super cozy feel. It's location is also top notch - not in the wild part of the touristic center, but just ten minutes away by foot. However, the neighborhood is very hip, with lots of fine local restaurants, bars, cafés. Midway between placa Espanya and placa Catalunya.
