Magda gave us helpful advice before we arrived and a warm personal welcome when we did. She checked in with us by email during our stay to be sure all was going well. And everything went very well.

Her apartment was perfect for the four of us -- clean, modern, bright, well-outfitted -- and could have easily accommodated another two adults on a good quality convertible sofa bed. Two balconies let us look out at the city and one evening a few days before Christmas watch an unexpected parade of a thousand motorcycle-riding Santas (apparently a local holiday custom). Even better, the apartment was perfectly located, close to so many of the things we wanted to see and a great base to easily return to in the midst of sightseeing. A 2-minute walk to Plaza Cataluna or Las Ramblas, a 10-minute walk to two Gaudi buildings, 5 minutes to great groceries, a reasonable walk to the beach.

A great place to stay while visiting a great city.
