My wife and I had a wonderful time in Barcelona. It is one of the best city we had the pleasure to visit if not the best. The people were great. It was our first time and we are planning on going back one day. We spent a few days at a hotel prior our stay at Laia's place but nothing compares to the feeling of being a little bit closer to the way people live in Barcelona. The apartment was exactly the same as described and the pictures showed all the rooms, when we got there we felt like we have been there before. The apartment is situated right in the middle of everything. We scheduled a time to get the keys and the place was ready for us before the time we discussed. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed and more. We felt very safe and was also very quiet. Laia was great and eager to help us have the best time possible. So much more could be said but I think you are getting the picture.
