Xavi was a terrific host. He greeted us upon arrival, carried our luggage upstairs, and provided a great orientation to the neighborhood and the city. He also came over when we were leaving and helped us get all our things downstairs. In between, he responded immediately and very helpfully to all questions. The apartment itself is delightful, with a truly extraordinary terrace. In addition, the small living room has a great couch, as well as big glass windows and a sliding door opening onto the terrace. Both were lovely places to be. The bed and linens were excellent, the kitchen well-equipped, the shower wonderful, and the décor both charming and useful. There were numerous small- and medium-things weren’t working properly when we arrived, but we gave Xavi a list, and he made appropriate repairs quickly and without disturbing us. We really appreciated this haven in Barcelona and would happily return any time!
