Our trip to Barcelona was amazing and staying at Julia's apartment was one of the main reasons. The location is ideal, close to countless restaurants, shops, and cafes. The apartment has a distinct style that celebrates the historical qualities of the apartment and added to our impression of Barcelona being a special and unique place. Julia was an amazing host and wanted to be sure we enjoyed our vacation. She gave us excellent tips on restaurants and activities to explore Barcelona. She also provided 2 cell phones to use during our stay that included her cell in case we had any issues. Based on the photos and listing details, the apartment ended up meeting or exceeding our already high expectations and Julia was a terrific host that justifiably has great pride in her apartment.
