LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION – A/C, A/C, A/C!

We had a spectacular week in Barcelona and one of the main reasons was Nadia and Taras’ apartment. One block from the metro, four blocks from the beach, and surrounded by countless great cafes and shops. We could have spent a week just in Poblenou and been perfectly happy. Instead, we went to the local beach every day for a few hours, cooled off in the blissfully comfortable apartment, then ventured to different sites/neighborhoods for the rest of the day. The A/C absolutely saved us during an unseasonably hot week in June. We slept so comfortably, both because of the cool temperature of the flat but also because it’s on the quiet side of the building. No street noise at all – not a peep.

The apartment itself was supplied with everything we needed and Nadia & Taras were incredibly grateful hosts. They made us feel comfortable and cared for before and during our entire stay. They are accommodating and gracious – absolutely perfect hosts.

The beds were extremely comfortable, the laundry easy to use, and the kitchen fully stocked. We had such a great stay that we won’t even look anywhere else to stay for our next visit to Barcelona. We can’t wait to come back here.
