Our stay at Julia's house was perfect. The place is gorgeous, with traditional Spanish tiles, an incredible patio for outdoor dining, terrific ceilings. The building has an elevator, so it's easy to bring bags and up and down into the apartment as well. Moe importantly, Julia has thought of EVERTYHING. The apartment is well-stacked with all of the amenities you could possibly need (dishwasher, laundry, lotions, sewing kit, you name it, keys for each guest) and the location is perfect. The apartment is a very short walk from all of the famous modernisme buildings, delicious tapas, the boqueria, etc. Whenever we needed Juila, she was responsive. Don't pass up this place; it is a true gem.
