Mody was a fun, helpful and thoughtful host. He came and met me at the metro so I didn't have to navigate my way to his place on my own (not that it's hard actually - just down the road from Placa Catalunya). The apartment is super clean and just as I'd expected from the photos. It's incredibly well-located, in the Gothic quarter, easy to walk everywhere. I joined him and a friend of his for dinner at a lovely restaurant on my first night as I was getting my bearings in the city. I definitely recommend Mody's place for his friendly welcome and its amazing location.
