It was a great experience to stay in Juan Jose's apartment for 4 nights. From the moment we walked through the beautiful exterior door and stepped into the fantastic apartment lift we knew we were in for a special experience.
Adrian, Juan Jose's son, has done a marvelous job of combining modern Scandinavian interior design and comfort without losing any of the Catalan authenticity of the original apartment. It is an absolute pleasure to be in this space. We had lunch in the apartment most days and we loved relaxing there afterwards. Sitting out on the balcony at any time from early morning to late at night, looking at the Sagrada Familia, and watching the street scene was great.
The apartment has all necessary modern conveniences, it is restful, peaceful, interesting and attractive.
It's location is superb. There are numerous cafes, bars and bakeries nearby, a supermarket 1 minute away, and there are 2 metro stations really close by. We used the metro all the time to go in and out of the city centre. If you buy a T10 ticket it is less than 1 euro a ride.
Adrian met us at the airport which got the trip off to a great start. Juan Jose met us at the apartment, showed us around, and gave us really helpful tourist information, and particularly some good restaurant tips. We especially enjoyed Ferrum, which was only 10 minutes walk away.
We would definitely stay again if the apartment was available for a future Barcelona trip.
Thank you Juan Jose for being such a special Super Host, and also for being a genuinely kind and interesting person with a lovely family. Best wishes to you all from all of us here in Liverpool.
