My famliy of 3 persons were at Javier's place for almost one week. The host always replied promptly to all our queries whether it was before or during our booking. The apartment is withing minutes of walking from the Espagna metro station which made travelling to the centre by the metro or to Montserrat easy. Plaza Espagna is also at the crossroads of many buses and we took one to the l'Illa shopping centre . There was a big supermarket ,the Mercadano, conveniently located in the Arena shopping centre just across the road. Even if the block of apartments was occupied, the people are very respectful of others and it was quiet whenever we were there . We cooked light meals and there was almost all that we needed. Overall, we were happy with our stay at Javier's place.
