Cristian was a great host, he was flexible and easy to contact. The apartment was just as I saw it on the website and more. It was comfortable, in a nice community that had plenty of good groceries, restaurants, and bakeries. It was just a few minutes walk from the Metro and it took little time to walk to Sagrada Familia. My family and I enjoyed staying in the apartment and I recommend it highly for anyone who wants a safe, comfortable place to stay in Barcelona. It was an added bonus to have a number of books to read on those first few sleepless nights we had after arriving at the apartment from so far away in Canada. The books authored by our host were especially interesting to read.
