Three of my friends and I stayed in Cristina’s place during our semester studying abroad in Barcelona. We are all college students and were looking for an authentic and happening neighborhood to live in for four months. The apartment is very true to the pictures provided. The building is located on a small yet busy street during the day and night. However, we made sure to be cautious when walking the streets past a certain time due to the safety of the area during the late night. For the most part we had no issues but still felt we needed to be cautious at times. There are plenty of restaurants and shops right outside the front door of the building where we spent a great deal of our time. The apartment is a short walk to main roads and a metro station, as well as the gothic quarter and all it has to offer. Overall we had a great time thanks to this place and Cristina was a great host who always responded to us in a quick manner with any of our concerns. She was very commutative during our entire stay. We will for sure miss the great times this apartment and neighborhood provided for us!
