Xavis place is a peaceful oasis in the busy city of Barcelona. My girlfriend especially enjoyed sippping Cava and subsequently napping on the private terrace. The rest of the apartment had everything we needed to feel at home in Barcelona, including a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, and a to die for shower. Xavi was the perfect host. He did an excellent job of communicating before our arrival and greeted us with Cava and a few snacks. He provided a thorough orientation of Barcelona and the Gracia neighborhood. He also checked on us regularly and arranged airport transportation for our trip home. I hope we have the opportunity to return to Xavi's place in Barcelona!
