Jose is a fantastic airB&B host and his apartment is perfect. Small and beautifully appointed for a relaxed and comfortable stay in Barcelona. Airbnb hosts vary and can be reactive or proactive. Jose most definitely is a pro active host who took the time to explain where the metro was, how to navigate the system and Barcelona. Jose has thought about what is needed to make an airB&B stay perfect and it shows. The area is fabulous and not at all touristy, great markets for clothes, meat, cheeses, fruit. Supermarkets for basics,lots of restaurants. Barcelona FC nearby for all those football fans. This is what Airbnb is all about, living like a local and experiencing a different way of visiting a global city. I recommend Jose's airB&B for singles, couples or couples and one child, you will have a great stay.
