Xavier's place is really nice, with a sunny, spacious living room, a lovely balcony and a good kitchen. The "cozy" room is really small, but the living room makes up for it. Location is perfect: 10 min from the beach, 1 min to the metro station. I felt very welcome, as Sergio (Xavier's friend who takes care of the check in process when he's not in town) is very friendly, helpful and funny. We had a great time listening to Pear Jam together ;) Book at Xavier's for a quiet stay near the beach. I loved it.
