My wife and I stayed at Franciscos place for a week and I have to say, it was perfect for us. Central, cosy and very spanish. I never met Francisco myself but my wife met him to get the keys and he helped her up the staircase with her luggage. He also left us some fruit and some essentials to get us started. I wouldnt hesitate to stay at Franciscos place again next time we visit Barcelona, we ahad a great time.
