Three words to describe our own little hotel at Yök Casa & Cultura. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
We loved it so much we would happily buy it from Mari & Petz if they're willing to sell to some lovely English folk??

Myself and a few friends went to Barcelona for my 40th birthday, and I scoured the internet for the most perfect airbnb. I could not have chosen a more wonderful place to stay. The location is central without feeling crazy busy, and has easy access to everything you'd want to do in Barcelona. The bulding is sublime - eco in design but luxurious in feel. All modernist features from the doors and floors add a certain romance to proceedings, and the balcony at Casa C was like our little zen garden where we talked through the night on rocking chairs with fine Spanish wine. Ahhhh...soo good. We each had our own bathroom which proved very useful, and met for coffee in the family-sized kitchen before heading to the roof terrace for complimentary breakfast. Here we had a marvellously spacious view of Barcelona, and a table of coffee, fresh juice and fruit, warm bread and the juiciest tomatoes. The hosts provided everything we needed for a vegetarian and gluten-free diet. Oh - and we absolutely LOVED the hosts, and spent time with Mari on the rooftop terrace. On my birthday she brought out a home-made apple cake with candles...just because she is THAT lovely. The special thing about the hosts is that they allowed us to feel entirely at home here - we never felt we were staying in a professional establishment, but more like we were staying with good friends who were ready to look after us and give us a great experience of Barcelona. We can not fault a single thing. We LOVED this place and everything it stood for.
My friends and I will visit Mari & Petz every year until they retire. Yök is our Barcelona home and I've started saving now so I can come back soon.
So watch out for us Mari! We'll be back!! :)
