Xavi is terrific and so is the place. He was quick to reply about various options for getting in from the airport. And then while I was staying there, quickly getting me information about bike rental and other things about the neighborhood, getting tickets ahead of time for sites, etc. Also - and this is very important - the apartment looks like it does in the photos. And the location in Gracia near the metro is good. A nice Cava in the fridge! You'l be happy here. It's an excellent place. Thanks for everything, Xavi. I hope to see you again next time in Barcelona. Best, Doyle
