Since I arrive at the flat, Javier made sure I felt welcomed and that I was happy with the bedroom, bed sheet,...etc.
He also gave me some clear instructions and provided maps so I knew quickly my whereabouts.... and a complementary fresh bottle of water.
Javier's might not be fluent in English, but with my basic Spanish and the help of Google translate we were able to communicate easily and it was a pleasure having some conversation around a drink or two.
The place is always tidy and clean and is actually not far from the centre (20 mns in metro).
If I come back to Barcelona for few days I know where I will stay and as you can tell I highly recommend staying at Javier's place!
