Due to a last minute issue at my original reservation through Xavier in Poble Sec (listing "Lovely Loft near Barcelona center"), Xavier had to amend my original reservation and instead put me up for 4 nights (of a 6 nights stay) in his other listing, "Luxury Apartment in Barcelona center." The new accommodation was perfect: centrally located, comfortable, with amenities, etc. Xavier was also a gracious and accommodating host! I never set foot in the original reservation, so I am unable to comment on that space. Xavier resolved the issue at the original reservation for my 5th night, but I decided to pursue another route and stay elsewhere for my final days in Barcelona.
