I didn't meet Filippo in person but he was friendly, flexible and easy to communicate with. Filippo's wife hosted me in their Pablenou apartment and she was great - very sweet and funny, and helpful with tips about the neighborhood and activities in Barcelona.

The apartment is very clean, well located 2 blocks from the beach, the metro station and the room itself is very comfortable with a patio and a nice breeze. Poblenou proved to be a fantastic neighborhood - 2 blocks from the beach, a hip/artsy area, and it's nice to be out of the super-touristy Gothic/Born.
