Diego's apartment is a great place to call home in a fantastic city! He was a brilliant host, super friendly, informative and happy to share the places he loves. The apartment is part of a 200 year old building and has some lovely original features, paired with modern touches like remote control lighting and industrial standard sound proofing! It's a great base and a peaceful refuge to chill out and recharge, ready for the endless delights Barcelona has to offer. The neighbourhood is quiet and residential and the apartment faces a a lovely square, scattered with a few bars and restaurants. It feels like an escape from tourism and tourists and a chance to experience genuine local life. When I stayed I was lucky enough to see a local band play in the square and join the celebrations into the night! The buzz of the city centre is a pleasant 15 minute wander through beautiful streets and this contrast helps you appreciate different sides to the cities character. All in all, a really positive experience, thanks Diego!
