First, Svitlana's apartment is prime real estate! It is just a 2-min walk to the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia, a must-see for any visitor to Barcelona. The neighbourhood is lively and vibrant and has lots of restaurants, gift shops, convenient stores, etc. It is also in very close proximity to the metro station on the blue L5 line that links so easily and quickly to many of the great attractions in the city. As well, it was stressless to get to and from the Barcelona El Prat Airport. My wife and I had a wonderful time and it was very easy to find our way around town with the good quality of the transit system. Second, Svitlana and her husband were very kind, warm and welcoming hosts. Even though we were not proficient at all in Spanish and they don't speak much English, communication was not a problem. Svitlana kept in touch all through the process and replied emails quickly. Checking in was flawless and she provided us with all we needed to make our stay comfortable - a very clean home, clear and basic common sense house rules, a comfortable room with clean sheets, a fridge and a good fan to keep us cool, clean towels, a well equipped kitchen, maps, tips on what to do and where to get the best experiences Barcelona had to offer - from sights to sounds to tastes...we lacked nothing! We found the bed comfortable, and even though the apartment was located in a vibrant neighbourhood, it was quiet at night and we enjoyed our sleep. We were also given lots of privacy and space. All in all, an excellent location, a lovely and very clean apartment, amazing hosts and a truly magical city! What's not to love? Very highly recommended!
