David is a great host! His place was very clean, open, spacious, and conveniently located! My first day he helped me figure out what sites to see and provided me with a map and some great advice! He also introduced me to some of his friends in the city. David's place is great for people who want to explore/stay in Barcelona, but don't want to be in the crazy center. It is a lovely walk from the center, and also just a few blocks from the metro. Many buses pick up in front of his home and take you to the city; I walked everywhere, however. I totally suggest staying with David if possible.
