Xavi and Victoria know how to host people. They have their multiple rooms (three I think) down to a science, and they make it comfortable for everybody to stay in their beautiful and spacious home. I was so impressed with all the thought that went into providing clear local recommendations, instructions for using the washer/dishes/and more, and a comfortable shared space. We didn’t meet Xavi, but Victoria was very kind and helpful. The only downside was that just one of their rooms has the balcony window – our room ended up not being that room. It was totally fine, just a heads up.

The location is perfect for seeing the major sites of the city and tasting the many delicious restaurants of the Born and Gothic districts. I think we used the metro twice outside of going to the airport and just walked everywhere (including Park Guell, but that was a bit much).
