We had a nice stay at Cristina’s place. The area feels very local, and safe, rather than touristy. There are plenty of cafes, small supermarkets and health food stores. We walked to many of the sites, such as La Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Battló, etc.
The house was comfortable. We really liked that the two bedrooms were on opposite ends of the place, which offers privacy. It is perfect for two couples or a family with older children.
