I spent a wonderful long weekend in Barcelona, staying at Adriana's apartment. Just to get it out of the way: it can get noisy. But the great location, the beautiful room, your own bathroom and Adriana's hospitality make more than up for it. The apartment is well located in the Gotic, close to Born, the sea, most of the attractions of Barcelona. The area is very lively and offers many cafes and shops, all you might need. Adriana was very welcoming and helpful and I felt like I was visiting a friend.
