We stayed at Romina’s place in Barcelona in mid August and it was a great choice. We arrived at the apartment earlier than the check-in time. Romina let us leave our luggage in the apartment. Free of the luggage, we walked to the beach. Out of our trans-Atlantic flight into the gorgeous Mediterranean water! Then Las Ramblas, tapas, the first Gaudi of our visit. The apartment is exactly as it looks like in the photos. It features custom made cabinets, gorgeous art, beautiful details, comfortable furniture, bold and wonderful choices of colour. The A/C's in the bedrooms provide relief from hot Barcelona weather; one can sleep soundly in the comfy beds. The small balcony allows one to air-dry beach towels or enjoy the night breeze with a good book. The apartment is walking distance from the touristic centre, but is quiet. There is a convenience store downstairs. Cafes all around. The beach is just a short walk away. Indeed, every morning, the first thing we did was to go for a quick swim. Then grab our coffee as we walked back home.
Romina is an excellent host. She is quick to respond and attentive. We will be returning back for a second stay tomorrow and are all looking forward to it.
