Kate's place was an absolute dream for our group of six friends. The location could not have been more convenient for our trip. The house is located in Eixample which turned out to be the absolute best location for our visit. It is just far enough from the super busy touristy Gothic Quarter but so close to everywhere we wanted to go. Nothing in Barcelona was more than 15-20 minutes away by walking, metro, bus, or taxi. The neighborhood itself is quiet, with tons of shopping and amazing restaurants. We did not meet the host but her caretaker Ivan helped us check in and explained everything carefully and also gave us some great restaurant tips. The house itself was absolutely massive and totally immaculate. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were all spotless. There was even wine, water, milk, and other snacks left for us which was a nice touch. We felt totally at home for our week long stay. For a large group, I don't think you can find a better option in all of Barcelona.
