My family (wife and two teenage sons) just finished a 10-night stay at this fabulous apartment. Phil & Fiona are the perfect hosts. Always attentive to our concerns prior to and during our stay. Our arrival process was pleasant and efficient with Phil meeting us, showing how everything worked in the flat, and greeting us with complimentary cava, beer and chocolates in the fridge. The fact that English is the native tongue of our hosts was a huge plus.

The place met all of our expectations and more. We loved all the space which you cannot get from a hotel or even a serviced apartment. Beds were comfortable, toilets, baths, laundry equipment all worked well, kitchen was aptly stocked and fully functional. We felt perfectly at home. So much so while my son and I fell ill during our stay, we didn't mind spending long hours "at home" while Phil was ready to recommend doctors who could do house calls. Thankfully, we recovered after a few days and decided not to call on the doctors.

The neighborhood is special and just the way we like it. Neither too near nor too far from from the touristy Placa Catalunya, Las Ramblas, Barri Gotic and Passeig de Gracia. Quaint little shops and good restaurants (some recommended by Phil) are sprinkled all over and add to the great local vibe. It's very safe with excellent bus, subway and taxi connections to get you to anywhere in the city.

Barcelona is a truly magical city. This was our third time and we will never run out of things to do. We will never tire of watching Barca at Camp Nou, our "happy place". We have finally found our "home" in this part of our world will come back home soon.
