Cristina is a terrific host, and her beautiful apartment is in a fantastic neighborhood - walkable to most major sites in the city and safe for strolling even quite late in the evening (or at least felt that way to us). We loved heading out through Gràcia each day and coming home to explore its streets each night. We enjoyed finding local markets and restaurants in a neighborhood that was relatively quiet after the bustle of the city’s major streets. The apartment felt a bit more well used than it looks in the pictures, but it was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked with the basics. The front bedroom window (with the two single beds) opens to the street on the ground floor, so might not feel like a good option for those who like more privacy, but it was comfortable for sleeping with a ceiling fan. The apartment has neighbors above who can look down into the rooms, but also good curtains if you prefer more privacy. The space is really big, really light, and it’s lovely to have an outdoor patio space and the ability to open lots of sliding doors to the air and breeze. Cristina is super kind, quick to respond to any questions, has great local suggestions, and generally made everything feel easy. We would stay there again.
