Staying with Donato was great in a ways. The room was nice as was the bed. It is only a 5 minute walk to the metro and that was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and there places to eat minutes away. It is on the outside of Gracia and a few minutes to Park Guell, perfect for an early morning walk sans crowds. Donato is a great host, we connected well over art and life, I hope to stay in touch with him for many years to come.
