My wife and I came to Spain for twelve days with our two sons and daughter in law. A very special trip to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and my wife's 60th birthday. Barcelona was our first stop to a multi destination trip in Spain. Barcelona was a terrific start to our trip in great part and thanks to the wonderful place where we stayed. There are so many wonderful aspects to Julia's apartment: let me start with location,location, location and say that it is short of super amazing. I downloaded a self walking tour of Barcelona app with several tours to take and found that we could walk to just about all of them. The longer we were there the more we discovered a multitude of restaurants across all price points, lifestyles and cuisines. We were also pleasantly surprised to find near by so many convenience shops, cheese/cure meats shops, and supermarket.
We found the apartment very welcoming, spacious, charming and with great character. Coming from California we are always appreciative of being outdoors and found the terrace/patio area to be fabulous. We managed to be outdoor quite a bit and enjoyed the warmth of the outdoor heaters in the evenings. We found Julia to be most responsive and gracious, she demonstrates high attention to detail with the amenities she has in place, she has clearly made it a point to ensure the apartment is well appointed. Kitchen is completely equipped, TVs is every room, complete glassware, white wine, red wine, etc. In short, I highly recommend Julia's apartment and would definitely stay there again.
