We had a delightful time staying with Shalini and Ignasi, both of whom are warm, bright, vivacious and gracious hosts who welcomed us into their home as though we were old friends. The apartment is perfectly located in the Gothic quarter, a short walk from just about everything, and is both spacious and cozy. The room is quite comfortable and private, with its own bit of balcony and a large, nicely appointed private bathroom. We felt completely at home. Shalini was kind enough to provide us with an exhaustive list of tips and recommendations for everything from food to museums, parks and culture – our own personal tour guide! Top recommendation for anyone eager to explore the wonders of Barcelona with a friendly personal touch.
