Irene is the best host you could ask for! Staying with her throughout my 4 months in Barcelona had really made my experience. The backyard patio was my favorite spot with huge tree and hammock as a perfect combination during the summer, but I still find it pleasant during winter. The room in the attic gives you privacy and has a very comfy sofa bed, not to mention the perfect temperature in the house, no fan or air-conditioning needed! For those who would like to explore the city avoiding public transportation, there’re two bikes available. The indoor is very homey as well. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who would like to cook. You can find 3 supermarkets nearby as well as 1 Asian market. The house is in the central location in Gracia; 1-minute walk to Fontana metro station and 5-minute walk to the FGC. Gracia is a great area for shopping with nice bars and restaurants; you can find everything in that area within a walking distance from the house. It was very comfortable living with Irene since she’s very clean, neat, and above all a very warm-loving host. We often find ourselves engaged in many deep meaningful conversations. You will be very lucky if you get to meet her friends and family, they’re all very lovely and fun to be around. Irene has a big heart and is very smart, funny, and sophisticated as well. I miss her already. I will definitely go back to this home the next time I visit Barcelona!
