We knew nothing about Barcelona (this being our first trip), but we were quite fortunate to have landed in this lovely little apartment in El Clot. The neighborhood itself is full of hidden gems, and it’s also close to the metro, and La Sagrada Familia. One item of note: the listing talked about a balcony, which excited us very much. When we arrived at the apartment, we found the balcony not accessible due to construction. We decided to then split our stay between the apartment and a hotel. Frederic did not hesitate to refund us the difference, and was very easy to work with. What we loved most about the apartment was its location: a local neighborhood, not full of tourists, close to the metro, and surrounded by some of the best tapas bars in Barcelona. Thank you, Frederic, for your hospitality. Staying in your apartment made us feel like locals.
