We were group of 6 friends traveling to Barcelona for a wedding, and we loved staying at Xavier's place! The location is very convenient - right by La Rambla, walking distance to the beach, close to metro, walking distance to Placa Catalunya for shopping, close to Boqueria where we had breakfast most mornings. The elevator was rare and appreciated as this is a top floor unit and we were travelling with 2 pregnant women. Lastly I really appreciated the small touches - the towels and bed linens (and therefore the entire place) smelled freshly laundered, the wifi was fast, there is a washer and dryer, and the tiled floors were so beautiful. The check in and check out was also seamless. I would definitely book again.
