Xavi was a fantastic host. We were greeted at the flat with arms wide open and a bottle of wine in the fridge (lovely touch).
The flat was exactly as described, clean and fully working. The location was fabulous, slightly out of the hustle and bustle of central Barcelona but easy enough to walk in to. Besides, Gracia is a beautiful area in its own right, and ideally placed for short walks to Park Güell, La Sagrada Familia and the metro for everything else.
Highlight was definitely the outdoor shower and sleeping outside!
Perfect stay and looking forward to a return trip!
