Rafa and Mia are very respectful hosts, easy to talk to, always willing to help and at an easy reach by phone. I stayed at their home for 3 months without any problems. Their flat location couldn’t have been better. It is in Gran de Gràcia, almost in Lesseps’ square, on a third floor with elevator. Despite being a busy street, the place is completely quiet at night, which allows guests to sleep tight. The neighborhood itself is lively, with small shops, supermarkets and Cinemas Verdi at an 8min walking distance, where you can watch films in original version with subtitles. Basically one of the best places you could stay in the city. Lesseps underground (L3,green line) is 1min away walking from the house, so you won’t have any problems reaching any important destination in the city.
The flat is big and clean, high-ceilings and beautiful hydraulic catalan mosaics covering the floor as those of ancient buildings in Barcelona. It is also tastefully decorated and airy. As a guest you get full access to the whole house, which is particularly useful if you are in a long-stay because you can cook your meals and everything is at your disposal. Rafa loves cooking so the kitchen is very well equipped. In addition to that, you have your almost-private bathroom, as they have their own and an extra one for guests. You can make your laundry in the house and there is a clothes’ horse so you don’t even have to go to the rooftop to dry them. The bedroom has its own desk and wardrobe and the bed is big and really comfortable.
I highly recommend Rafa and Mia’s home to everyone, I would certainly come back anytime!
