First trip to Barcelona and will definitely be returning! Xavi's hospitality was second to none. Not to mention his incredible apartment in one of the most beautiful parts of the city, the Gracia district. If you're looking for an authentic stay in Barca this is the spot....you're only a quick metro ride down to all the action, but it is nice to come chill out in the Gracia area later in the day and just feel like a local. The outdoor deck was our favorite part of Xavi's place as we found ourselves out there to relax whenever we were at the apartment. Xavi's tips when we arrived were spot on and he answered any questions quickly when we had any. Will be coming back again soon!
