We had a most wonderful stay at Gloria's apartment. It is very strategically located - walking distance to the major tourist attractions and easy access to the metro lines. Despite its closeness to "touristy" areas, the neighborhood made us feel like "locals". We felt very comfortable and secure the whole time. My husband and our 2 sons already refer to it as their "home in Barcelona". We will definitely choose to stay here every time we go to Barcelona! We did not have the pleasure of meeting Gloria in person, but she was always communicating with us - asking if we needed anything or if everything is alright. She is the perfect host - she gave us privacy but we knew we could always ask her for help, if needed. We had high expectations of our stay in Barcelona and Gloria's apartment certainly exceeded our expectations!
