We didn't get to meet Cristina, but her mother Rosa was super nice and made us feel right at home. She even gave us some green beans from her garden--the freshest I have ever had. Our daughter LOVED the dog, and he loved her. We enjoyed many peaceful hours in the pool, playing cards at the outdoor barbecue and hanging out in the apartment. The apartment is beautifully designed, and I loved the tranquility of being in the Catalan countryside. We stayed at the apartment with another couple, and we know them well. One of the bedrooms is open and has no door, so there is no privacy. Also, there is only air conditioning in the living room, so the rooms were a little warm at night. This was my best vacation in a long time, and Cristina's apartment was a very nice place to stay.
