Xavi’s place is amazing and so welcoming! He greeted us at the door and offered to carry all our luggage. When we got to the apartment there were muffins in the kitchen waiting for us (which Xavi and Laura generously refilled after we devoured them all). Everything is available in the kitchen for our use. Xavi made sure that we know this is our home, which we really appreciated! There’s an old radio on top of our own fridge (yeh we have one whole fridge to ourselves) that plays music throughout the day and gives really homy feels whenever we cooked.
In the bathroom, well, first, we have a private bathroom to ourselves. There’s body wash, shampoo, a hair towel, and a body towel. We can also use the washing machine for free! Most airbnb charge an extra fee for washing your clothes, so this is a nice surprise. Also the detergent smells amazing.
Our bedroom is right opposite the front door. It is big and beautifully decorated (like the rest of the house). The room doesn’t have a window, which wasn’t a big problem since the light switch is right next to the bed. There’s also a heater available if the weather gets cold, but the blankets kept us cozy.
Also, the whole house smells amazing and is spotlessly clean. Xavi and Laura gave us as much privacy as we need. They were extra helpful when they found out that my partner was sick, and kept offering honey tea and checking in till we left. Since I’m still studying in Barcelona for another month, Xavi even gave me his personal email in case I ever need anything. Beautiful home, beautiful people, and extraordinary hospitality. We would love to come back here for another stay if we plan to visit Barcelona again!!
