My stay at Astrid's was absolutely wonderful! Where to start...Astrid is so full of life, kind, authentic and warm. She was super helpful and gave me great recommendations for things to do in the area. I loved the apartment itself- decor was fabulous and fun and the deck was a major plus! I spent a bit of time every day on that deck and did some yoga, laid in the hammock and chillaxed :) Astrid's home is located in the El Born neighborhood, which I loved. Tons of cute shops and cafes and it was much quieter than other parts of town but in close proximity to pretty much any part of the city, especially The Gothic Quarter which I also loved.
Here are a few of my local finds:
The Green Spot- delicious veg food only a few min away
Marula cafe- GREAT live music!
El Salterio- good vibe, cozy restaurant with tapas, amazing tea selection and good vibes
Local mini-getaway to the beach- Okata beach
Yoga studio- Jivamukti yoga Barcelona
Astrid- I miss you already!
