Summary:
Believe this and the other raving reviews, these guys and their beautiful home are that great.
Barbara and Ian are warm, inviting, helpful and thorough in their hosting. Before arriving they were supportive and offered a slew of suggestions to enjoy the city in a varied and genuine fashion. On arrival we were immediately made to feel welcomed into a beautiful home that reflects the artistic, vibrant and friendly quarter in which it resides.
The bedroom and accompanying sitting room that's squared away for guests is beautifully laid out, with a number of welcoming touches (water, wine, chocolates, and guide maps, towels, and an umbrella).
The rest of the apartment itself is equally lovely and beautifully put together, located squarely in the Gothic Quarter it gives you immediate opportunities to lose yourself in charming winding roads riddled with stunning architecture, excellent venues for local food, clothes, music, and art. Equally it's within easy walking distance to the best parts of the city, or has great public transport links if you want to cover more ground quickly.
Finally I want to once more highlight what amazing hosts Barbara and Ian were, they've got loads of recommendations and tips to make the most of your stay, are amicable and wonderful company that you would find yourself wanting to keep chatting with, but equally know that (as in my girlfriend and my case) you might fancy a bit of a quiet moment to yourself and this comes as comfortably and easily as it does to walk up to them for a bit of a chat.
I wouldn't think twice about booking another visit here and cannot recommend them enough!
