What a beautiful apartment in Barcelona, and such a hospitable host.

Manuel was a very responsible, helpful and genuinely hospitable host during our stay in his apartment in Barcelona. From before we got there till the moment we left, Manuel was very attentive to our questions and needs. Upon arrival, Manuel was very organized, providing us with general information about Barcelona, the neighborhood and the apartment. He was nice enough to take time out of his day to talk to us about his favorite spots in the city. He also took extra efforts in ensuring our stay was comfortable - one evening he brought up these fun colorful lights to enjoy on the terrace as we made dinner and took in the views of the city!

Which brings me to the apartment - which was on the whole, one of the prettiest places I have stayed at. The views of Barcelona are breathtaking. You can literally see all the major monuments like the Sagrada Familia, Montjuic and even the water! So, so pretty. Additionally, Manuel grows all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the deck which he was nice enough to let us use in cooking or just generally to eat. The neighborhood was relatively quiet (which I enjoyed) but was easily accessible through metro and taxi. It is also very safe.

Overall, we had a great time in Barcelona and attribute a part of that to staying in this awesome apt with such a great host! I will definitely recommend this apartment to friends and family.
