My family and I (4 adults) recently stayed at Lara's place. I maybe didn't realize it right away, but the location of her place is so ideal for a vacation in Barcelona. It is steps from the Fontana Metro stop and there is a bakery, ice cream shop and grocery store within two blocks.
Lara is a wonderful AirBnb host and was very responsive to my messages during our stay. She arranged for a cab to pick us up and take us to the airport on our last day.
Although I have heard that the temps were a little cooler than normal for August, it was great to have air conditioning in the apartment.
Barcelona is such a beautiful city! We visited during La Festa Major de Gracia and really enjoyed walking thru the neighborhoods checking out the decorations. We had arrived a few days before the festival started and it was fun to see the neighbors work together on the decorations. The live music was entertaining as well. We visited La Rambla and the huge market there. I highly recommend picking up some fresh seafood and treat yourself to a fruit juice...so refreshing!
Day trips to Montserrat and a day at the beach in Sant Pol de Mar were favorites with our group.
Thank you again Lara for making our trip to Spain so enjoyable!!
