John’s home is lovely. The room is beautifully furnished and very clean. The amenities were great. Though it is a private room (with a private bath) you get full access to the common areas (such as the kitchen and small sitting area), which you share with any other guests who are staying there at the time. However, all of his rooms were full and I barely saw anyone so it often felt like we had the place entirely to ourselves. You get a key to lock your room, a key to the front door, and a key to the front door of the apartment building. The home is a few floors up, but there’s an elevator available. The apartment is right next to a metro stop (Gràcia), which will easily get you anywhere in the city. John met us on arrival and was very welcoming! He even drew out a map for us of some of the popular things to see in Barcelona. He was always available for anything we needed (he lives on the other side of the apartment with his family) and would stop by (often with his adorable puppy) to check in and chat. Highly recommend staying here during your visit to Barcelona.
