When we traveled to Barcelona in late July 2018 the weather was very hot and the taxi drivers were on strike. It was so nice to stay at Jose's very clean apartment with air conditioning in the living room which cooled the entire apartment and was refreshing.
We were welcomed with fruit, jam, rolls, water, orange juice and coffee! For hungry travelers this was lovely. As a result of the taxi strike, Jose also arranged to have his father give us a ride to the airport early in the morning on the day of our departure which was very kind and much appreciated. The warm hospitality of host Jose and his father has encouraged us to travel to Barcelona again soon! We highly recommend staying at Jose's place which is located close to the metro station with easy access to everything in beautiful Barcelona.
