Rafa's place is seriously huge and really beautiful. The colors and all the windows. Aesthetically the house is everything you'd imagine a nice Spanish home to be. Rafa and Yaniv were super hospitable. We had some really great conversations about everything from politics to art to theater to films. The company was extremely pleasing. But they also give you your space too. The house is also located on a really cool street that leads to major areas in Barcelona if you walk maybe 15-20 minutes. So that was great exercise for me. There are many charming shops nearby too! I loved the locale.
The only negatives were that the walls were a bit thin and you could hear everything outside the room. Some of the common areas were a little dysfunctional at times, but I was out of the house more than I was in it so I didn't mind. There was only one outlet in my room which resulted in me only being able to charge one thing at a time which was a little inconvenient. The room had a little bit of dust, which I am allergic to, but was not an issue after the first day.
In my humble opinion, the positives outweighed the negatives. I had an amazing stay and was very happy to meet new people, albeit briefly. I'd recommend Rafa's place to all who like good food, good conversation and meeting really interesting people.
