Cristina is an excellent host. She welcomed us at the front steps of the apartment, and spent time showing us the amenities, demonstrating the appliances, and where to find everything in the house. Cristina also gave us good recommendations of restaurants and places to visit while in Barcelona. She has everything that you need to have in a place you can call home. Her place is beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and is in a safe neighborhood. Gracia district is very hip, with a variety of choices of restaurants, and markets to pick up supplies. You will never go wrong booking a trip with Cristina. I would use her place again when we visit Barcelona in the future.
