Jon was truly a wonderful host! I would not hesitate to book a stay in his home. This apartment is a great value and even better than my expectations! Jon was very hospitable and even checked us in at 1am after our plane was delayed. He was quick to answer messages and let us know we were welcome to use any space in his home. The apartment was cozy and artfully decorated. The location is right off of Las Ramblas in the Gothic Quarter and central to most sight-seeing activities in Barcelona. If I could list one con, it would be that due to this central proximity, his apartment was quite loud at night. With no central air conditioning as is common in most European homes, we had to sleep with the windows open but this made it loud since the sound traveled heavily from downstairs. This issue could be solved with a portable fan to keep it cool in the summer months so you can shut the windows. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful time in Barcelona and our stay at Jon’s home only added to the trip!
