We are thanking Javier for allowing us to stay in the apartment.
The apartment itself is of a very good size and shape, lots of storage- cupboards and shelving spaces. There are plenty of dishes, cups and pots if you want to stay in for dinner.
Javier place is very conveniently located: first stop on the Aerobus from the airport, 5 min walk to the apartment;
Short walking distance to Montjuic Mountain, National art gallery, shopping center and supermarkets.
½ hour walk to the port, Rumble Street, 45 min walk to Gothic quarter, 1 hour walk to the beach…however all of these could be conveniently reached by public transportation.
The city overall has a great public transportation system and plaza Hispania has all kinds of busses and metro very close by taking you to wherever you need to go. Also plaza Hispania is good if you want to travel out of the city as there is a train stations located very close by. We went to Monserrat and Sitges.
The place would benefit with newer towels as well as the mattress and pillow protective covers, as there are none. Overall could be cleaner. Also there was no kettle in the kitchen. We were boiling water in the pot for tea.

I would recommend Javier place.
