Xavier had arranged to meet us at the airport and was there even though the flight had been delayed by on hour. The apartment was exactly as described - well located, spacious, full of authentic character and a pleasure to stay in. Xavier was a superb host - very friendly and helpful, and always responded promptly to any texts and emails. We had a very early return flight so he wasn't able to take us back to the airport, but sorted out a taxi to pick us up. If and when we return to Barcelona Xavier's apartment will be top of the list. Thank you!
