Our experience staying at Cristina's was wonderful! She's a thoughtful host and we couldn't have been happier with the apartment. The check-in process was a breeze and she answered all of our questions and recommended a few restaurants and activities to do in the city. It's situated in a safe and lively neighborhood that's far enough away from the throngs of tourists, full of a variety of restaurants, shops, and plazas to explore. It was about a 50 minute walk to Las Ramblas, but close to two metro stops as well.
