Cristina's place was absolutely perfect. The location was ideal, close to the metro, buses, and tourist information. There was a Starbucks and a cafe/bakery downstairs and we were simply around the corner from many markets, local restaurants, and pharmacies. As soon as we walked in, the apartment was very clean and bright. We loved that it was in a quiet residential building and on a beautiful tree-lined street. Views of the sagrada familia and other parts of the city were great. I recommend this place to anyone visiting barcelona. I traveled within a group of 5 and the space was perfect for us to share. Plenty of closet space and bathroom space. The wifi worked very well. Cristina was a nice and communicative host, leaving plenty of tourist information in the apartment for us to use as reference.
