Jose was so sweet, hospitable, kind, respectful, etc. He picked us up from the airport for a good deal and greeted us with a cute sign. We felt apologetic for arriving at a late time, but he was willing and very welcoming. He is definitely approachable and willing to answer any questions. As for the room, it was very clean and he has pretty much the basic things you need - amenities from shampoo, towels, etc. just in case you forget to bring them. You have access to the kitchen, kitchenettes, and he leaves room for you in the refrigerator. As for the location, it is about a 10-minute walk, at most, to the metro station and a quick ride to Sol, the center. We now appreciate the quietness of the place after being located near the center and business areas in Barcelona. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Jose's place! We'll be staying there for our last night in Europe before we head back to our motherland :)
