We had a great stay at David’s - the room was lovely, spacious and clean with all the amenities you could want, including a much-needed fan! David also kindly provides toiletries in the bathroom should you need it, a sharing cupboard in the kitchen and fridge space for your groceries: generous touches to make you feel right at home.
The location itself is ideal for heading to and from the airport (Aerobus stop just 3 blocks down) and walking to any tourist hotspots in Barcelona (we didn’t use any public transport, though if we needed to the metro is about 2 mins walk away). David was also kind enough to provide us with his top restaurant and bar picks in Barcelona - the brilliant ‘tapas street’ is only about a 10/15 minute stroll away.
In terms of the noise issue raised by other reviewers, we found that for most of our nights at David’s we slept extremely soundly. Though on one of our last nights there were deliveries/moving of materials at the building site opposite from about 4.30 in the morning, which was pretty tough to sleep through and I’m a heavy sleeper. This isn’t a complaint as we booked this room having read the reviews and David clearly states the issue of building work in the description of the room, but as a recommendation for future guests - bring earbuds just in case and you’ll be sure to have a wonderful stay. Or, like us, just have a midday siesta to escape the August heat for an hour or two!
Thanks again, David.
