Jaesse's place is in a fantastic location situated just off Blai street, which is full of great pintxos bars and always vibrant with mainly locals having food, drinks and generally having fun, it is far removed from the tourist trap of las ramblas as is much of poble sec. It's also situated about halfway between montjuic and the gothic quarter, so many of the great attractions in Barcelona are within walking distance. We didn't use a taxi once whilst staying here, and were able to explore the best parts of the city with ease. Aside from the great location the flat itself is relatively modest but perfectly clean and features everything you need for a short or an extended stay. Jacob himself is a fantastic host and very accomodating, we had been let down at the last minute by another host and the service Jacob provided to get our trip back on track was superb, keeping in constant contact before we arrived, meeting us in person and giving detailed recommendations on the local area that were perfect for what we required. A great host and a fantastic city, highly recommended.
