Xabier made us feel very welcome in his lovely home. We stayed for 7 nights in the purple room. The bed is comfy, the balcony is beautiful day and night and the apartment is very spacious, so it's quiet at night too. Sharing a bathroom between us and the other room was rarely an inconvenience. We made use of the kitchen, which is very efficient and clean all the time. Xabier and his wife were there if we have questions. The fan and mini fridge in the room are definitely essential, and make the stay even more enjoyable. I cannot commend the location of this property enough. It is literally two blocks (5 minutes) from Placa Catalyuna. It's as central as you can get. The area is so close to great areas to eat, such as the Gotic Quarter. We highly recommend the apartment and also Bormuth (in the Gotic Quarter) for dinner!
