We had a wonderful stay at Xavier's apartment. It was just as described. The location is perfect. Close to the metro, within walking distance of Casa Mila, but in a quiet, non-touristy street. There is a great Italian restaurant right next door and a bakery and coffee shop a block away. There are also several grocery stores within a few minutes walk. The daycare nearby was no problem at all. The kids didn't come out to play until after 10:00 and were gone by the time we returned from our sight seeing. The apartment was well equipped. Xavier was very responsive to my emails and was waiting at the apartment for us when we arrived. We highly recommend this apartment.
