My family and I stayed with Julia in August of 2013... Julia is so lovely and her apartment is AWESOME! I can't imagine you will find a better, cleaner, bigger, nicer place anywhere in Barcelona! Julia really paid attention to the details everywhere when setting up the house... from the hand painted ceilings, to the water beside everyone's beds, to the gorgeous outdoor patio, to the free cell phones for use... even the shower is awesome! We were greeted with tapas and champagne, which is such a nice treat after traveling. My only complaint is that we could not stay longer! We will be back to Barcelona and back to stay with Julia, for sure. This was by far one of the nicest stays we have ever had as a family, and the accommodations really enhanced our trip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !
