Our experience in Barcelona was made special thanks to Esther. She is warm , friendly and was very helpful and easily available. Her apartment was spacious for 5 of us, clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is excellent-several local restaurants(Favorite-La Granja for breakfast), local bar Jalisco-right across the street and a bakery store within the builing itself. The metro is right across the street.It is waking distance from la Sagrada Familia. We enjoyed our experience with the locals who are warm and friendly. Overall , we loved our stay and would go back again!
