We got into Girona the day of the strike on October 3 and the whole city was basically shut down. Carme was very kind to meet us at the square and help us with our bags since the taxis were not allowed to drive into the lanes that day. The apartment is in a great location in the old city - just around the corner from the cathedral. There is a nice little balcony - and the whole place was very clean and nicely decorated. Because we couldn't find any restaurants that were opened (except one hotel cafe) or any supermarkets, Carme brought over some groceries from her own home! The next day she helped us print out our boarding passes to Sevilla and brought them over very soon after I asked for her help. But she and her son David went above and beyond when we realized (at the Barcelona airport) that we had forgotten our passports in the apartment! My husband rushed back and in transit was in communication with Carme and David to help us figure out where the passports were (we had hidden them). David met my husband at the train station to hand them over so he could make the high speed train back to Barcelona to catch our new flight. We would have missed the last flight to Sevilla and would have had to stay overnight and catch the morning flight the next day if it weren't for their help. We are so grateful :)
