We absolutely loved staying at Cruz, Mariana and Atilio's lovely apartment. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we had to leave, we felt welcome, safe, comfortable and completely at home. Cruz and Maria welcomed us, gave us a wonderful map that they created with keys for favorite restaurants, points of interest, pharmacies, etc...it was very localized and immensely helpful. The apartment itself is beautifully appointed - as much as we liked the photos in the listing, the apartment is even better in person. Immaculately clean (very important to us), modern finishes and an artistic touch to the furnishings - we just loved it. The location couldn't be better - this is a wonderful neighborhood with shopping, groceries, museums, bakeries...all in walking distance. Casa Batllo and Fundacion Tapies are around the corner. So, I'm running out of room now but I could go on and on about this apartment and our hosts. When we return to beautiful Barcelona, rest assured, we will be staying here and recommending it to family and friends as well.
