My husband and I just spent 2 weeks at Jordi's place and it was PERFECT for us. The apartment is spacious with two balconies that overlook Gran Via. When the french doors are closed you would never know that you are on a major street. The metro is 100 ft from the apartment and will take you anywhere in the city. The neighborhood is filled with great places - Blai 9 (for tapas,) Pastor (amazing cheesecake & coffee,) Casanovas (great deli items) and last but not least the St. Antoni Market (spectacular.) And then to cap it all off there are the hosts - Jordi and Tony, who are the best hosts we've ever had. They check in regularly to see how things are going and are so friendly that you want to invite them to your house to repay they exceptional hospitality. We will absolutely be back to Jordi's place!
