5++++ stars! Ron and Tadaaki are excellent hosts. Their home is a peaceful refuge from the chaotic (but fun) activity in city. The bed and bath are sparkling clean, and located in the front of the apartment, lending a feeling of privacy. The bed is extremely comfortable. In fact, I caught up on much-needed sleep during my stay. Ron and Tadaaki provided a complete European breakfast each day that we shared together. It was a great time for to learn about each other, and for me to gain a deeper understanding of Barcelona and Catalonians. I was even invited to a neighbor’s party where I met lovely people who were kind enough to work around my Spanish/Catalonian illiteracy. Needless to say, this stay was one of the highlights of my trip.
