John's place is amazing! We were situated just 2 metro stops away from the city centre which meant we could experience the hustle and bustle of the city but also enjoy local life when we went home. His flat was in such a great location with about a 1 minute and 5 minute walk away from each station. It was also very easy for us to walk to many places like Park Guell and Placa del Sol. You will also never go hungry since there is a market/ supermarket across the street and many restaurants on every corner. In addition, John was such a lovely host. We had the opportunity to speak to him multiple times during our stay and he is such a delightful, well-travelled person. His flat has everything you need and we appreciated all the thoughtfulness that was put into it. I highly recommend staying at John's place if you want to experience Barcelona tourism as well as experience how the locals live.
