Gabriel’s parents place is located in a very convenient area close to the Plaça de España. On their block, there are various cafes, bars, and stores where hundreds of locals and tourists tend to hang out. Gabriel was easy to communicate with and guided us easily to the apartment. My girlfriend and I did enjoy our stay, it was very fun to talk to his parents (to the best of our abilities with our limited Spanish). She even cooked dinner for us during our first night. However, I do think it should be known that the apartment is not a smoke free environment. As a couple who strives to strive clear of cigarettes, it was hard for us not to notice the strong odors that came from outside on the pedestrian street and from Gabriel’s parents, as they often smoked inside the apartment out the window.
