Javier and Tony are the greatest hosts one hopes for in a large unfamiliar city. Tony greeted us upon arrival and gave us very good advice on how to navigate the city for nightlife, food, shopping, and the best of Barcelona. Travelling with my two daughters, I found this area and all of Barcelona safe for a young teen and a young woman. The first day or two we walked everywhere from this centrally located apartmentt— even to Parc Guell — because we like to walk, but for the last three days we really enjoyed using the metro card and bought the three-day unlimited pass and made good use of it. We especially loved being in this apartment where cooking dinner was also a highlight of our trip. Between the tapas and sangria and two live shows (Cabaret and a circus down on the waterfront) our nightlife was memorable! We can’t wait to visit Barcelona again, and we would book Javier’s place for sure, as it felt like a beautiful vacation and just like Home — all rolled into one glorious experience! Thank you, Javier, for your great hospitality and wonderful apartment!
