Sofia was a fantastic host who gave us a thorough introduction to the apartment and the neighborhood. She made some wonderful recommendations of shops to visit, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The apartment was immaculate and well designed, and is located in the wonderful neighborhood of Gracia, just outside the center of the city. We walked everywhere, had our choice of many fantastic restaurants, and picked up produce and snacks in the lovely historic market just blocks away. The apartment was really ideal for a four-day stay and the immediate neighborhood is quiet and safe at all times of day. We loved our stay and would definitely visit again.
