I stayed at Javier's home for one week while I was attending a conference in Barcelona. His home was 15-20 minutes walk to city center, 5 minute walk to a mall, and 1 minute from the metro. For me, I t was like a home away from home. Javier was an amazing host whom was welcoming and answered any questions I have. If I ever have the opportunity to come back to Barcelona, I will def stay here again.
