Valeria and Phil are very, very kind and welcoming people. They stayed up very late the first night to let us in -when our flight was delayed- and introduce us to the appartement. Gave us so many good tips about where to go. Cool people with a nice attitude. The appartement is cozy and personally decorated. It is placed in a super nice part of Barcelona - close to center of the city (we walked around during our stay), metro, food market, shopping. Calm streets during night time. (We were there between christmas and new years eve.) Not very touristed area, which we liked. We were very happy about staying there! And will really recommend it.
