This is the best Airbnb experience we've ever had (and in 8 years, we've only had great experiences). Xavi models what it means to be a thoughtful host. And his apartment is nothing short of *magical*.
Traveling overseas with a five year old can be tricky and Xavi did so much to support our travels and to make us feel welcome. Xavi was so quick to respond to queries with helpful and assuring advice from the moment we booked the apartment. He went above and beyond, starting with arranging for a taxi to meet us at the airport, stocking the fridge with fresh fruits, bread and cava, coffee's... he had a special small bed made up for our son... meeting us at the apartment and patiently providing us excellent advice about the neighborhood... he even brought over a scooter for our son to use during our trip... firewood when we asked... an extra key.
The generosity of Xavi and his family extends to every careful detail of the house... the eclectic furnishings, the comfort of the beds, the gardens on the deck, the outdoor shower, the utility of fixtures and elegance of the lighting.
Staying in Xavi's apartment was a highlight of our whole trip. I'm grateful to Airbnb for creating opportunities for these kinds of experiences... grateful to Xavi for opening his home to us and for his tremendous kindness.
