The location was exactly what I needed, a few minutes walk from the famous Ramblas and the metro stations on the green line.. everything is at your door step, from small grocery shops, to bakeries and take away restaurants a couple of steps away, to the hustle and bustle of all the restaurants and bigger shops in la ramblas and by catalunya station..
Kris is a great host and is very welcoming indeed.. as a solo traveller I was a little apprehensive of the area and its reputation for pickpockets, but Kris gave me a little walking tour and hints and tips of how to keep safe in Barcelona in general.. I felt right at home.. Kris is a great host and I look forward to going back to Barcelona and getting in touch again in the future
