Xavier's appartment in Gracia - the artsy part of Barcelona (lots of small shops with handmade jewellery and fashion) is t h e place to stay!
Quite easy to find from the airport by train and metro, it's a 10 mins walk from the closest metro station to Xaviers flat. He was really helpful describing and estimating travel-routes and times and already waited for us when we arrived to show us around and explain all ameneties (there's a Nespresso machine to your use!).
His flat was perfect for us three girls: Two of us had their seperate room, one with a king-size bed, the other with a single and the third one slept on the spacious pull-out sleep-sofa in the living room. Being an architect, Xavier decorated his flat in an eye-catching minimalist style which is very soothing for the soul, everything is functional and colour-match.
We especially loved the balcony at the back of the house in the mornings, where you can have your breakfast. It's facing a nursery school and a college, so from time to time you will hear children playing outside, which was a lovely noise to our ears :)

All in all the appartment and Xavier leave nothing to be desired: The flat is central but quiet ( 10-15 mins walk to the first Gaudi buildings on the main-street and into the centre, app. 5 min. to some local supermarkets, one of them a 24-7) and Xavier is s o relaxed, easy-going and simply nice!

Come and stay! And thanks for having us, Xavier!!!
