Silvia was the perfect host and her apartment was the perfect base from which to explore the city.
My Dad & I booked to stay 4 nights with Silvia but as our flight was cancelled we were only able to stay for 3. Silvia was very helpful throughout this process and helped reorganise our taxi transfer, she was very patient & underatanding. During communication all the way up until our stay she was consistently prompt, friendly & helpful. Silvia made us feel instantly at home when we arrived and even had biscuits, crackers & water waiting for us in the room. She was always available when we needed her and made our stay truly comfortable.
The room was bright, clean and roomy equipped with a fridge, coffee machine, kettle & microwave in the adjacent room. The private bathroom was also lovely & spacious. The balcony, however, was really a standout. It is wonderful being able to sit outside in the morning sun looking out on the city with the Sagrada Familia in the distance. It's within walking distance of Avenue Diagonal where you can catch the open top bus as well as check out the shopping & infinite cafes & eateries. 24hr grocer just downstairs and across the road. Make sure you pop into Travel & Cake across the road it is awesome and be sure to swing by Silvia's reataurant Soda Bus just downstairs too!
Silvia's apartment was the perfect place to stay and we would definitely recommend it. Its central but not touristy, local but not too far away from stuff & Silvia goes out of her way to make sure you have a great stay.
Gracias, Silvia! :)
