We had a great stay in Barbara's apartment in Barcelona. She was there to greet us as we arrived, and made us feel very welcome. She provided us with maps of the city, its sights and even the local restarurants. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen - coffee, jams, muffins, etc. We really appreciated the well functioning internet connection - even got to Skype. Barbara explaind how to get to the local grocery store, bus stop, metro (all withing easy walking distance). The hop-on-hop-off bus stops right across the street, so we used it for our primary way of getting around the city. Even though the apartment is on a main street it is still a quiet, quaint neighbourhood. Overall, the apartment was everything that we expected and more! This is a great place to stay if you want to be in a quieter neighbourhood, but still have easy access to the sights of the city.
Thanks Barbara for being a great host.
