Christina's place lived up to the wonderful reviews we had read before booking. It was spacious, comfortable, clean as could be, and perfect for two couples traveling together. Christina herself was helpful from the start, sending messages before the trip, arranging our pickup from the airport and the transfer of keys upon our arrival, and always being available to answer any questions we might have while we were there. She also arranged our transportation back to the airport on the day we left.
The apartment itself is within walking distance or easy rides on public transportation of anything you might want to see. We also found that we loved neighborhood of Gracia with its many small plazas, wonderful shops and restaurants, and overall neighborhood feel. We were able to see people of all ages enjoying the plazas and playgrounds and even saw a puppet show for children celebrating the Festa del Gat a Gracia (Festival of the Cat) on the morning of our departure.
