We had a great time in Barcelona thanks largely to the accommodation at Xavier's luxury apartment. The location provided us with quick access (15 mins. by taxi and a half hour walk) to the city centre. We were far enough away to enjoy the local surroundings and really experience the culture. The apartment has everything to make your stay very comfortable. A home away from home. Xavier has great suggestions and is a great host. He was accessible, offered helpful advice and his assistance should we need it. It was great fun walking around the surrounding area where we found great shops, friendly folk and delicious (oh so delicious) food. Our experience with Xavier has left us wanting nothing more than to use only AirBNB for our future travels.
