ATTENTION: If you´re Ukrainian refugee and need to stay few days in Barcelona to move other cities in Spain or France I will be happy to host you and try to help you here, and if you want to stay and live in Barcelona for more time tell me and maybe we can do it.
I love to host people in home, talkactive, walking around, love to make different tours in city, street art, modernism, Gaudi´s places, underground, magical...all that you can imagine in that incredible city.Like to care my hosts and to go to tapa´s and good restaurants or bars.
