We were a party of 9 looking for a place to stay in Barcelona when we came across Julia's apartment. We liked the fact that the apartment was done up in keeping with its age and sympathetically restored and, no doubt, it was comfortable and had all the facilities we could wish for. However, what made the trip memorable was that Julia personally stayed in the apartment to welcome us and she helped with our planning pointing out what was a must see and various other tips. Moreover, she made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend her apartment.
