Michelle and Julio are great. She is a native Spanish speaker but her English is very good and easy to understand. It was a very comfortable environment--I got to watch TV (in English) for a while with them. Their apartment is very clean and orderly, yet, they are pretty relaxed. The apartment is safe--and has an elevator--and is quiet--and is located just 3 blocks from the Sagrada Familia church--and the Metro entry is also just 3 blocks from the apartment. I was there for business and it was perfect.
