We absolutely loved Julia's apartment and Julia! We were a family of 6- my grandparents, myself and my husband, my mother and sister. Everyone had more than enough space. Everyone slept on a proper bed. Plenty of closet space. The apartment itself is beautiful and well kept. The bathrooms are clean and new. The kitchen is well stocked. One night we decided to enjoy dinner on the back patio that even had heaters for the chill.

The neighborhood is more residential so you get a real local experience. We took short taxi rides to get to most places, but were within walking distance of Passeig de Gracia and plaza Catalunya. Finding good food within walking distance was very easy. Having been to Barcelona before, we liked exploring our immediate neighborhood for good restaurants and found many in the area.

Julia was a perfect host. She received us with snacks and cava as others have said. She waited patiently although we were late. She was able to give us recommendations and was always available should we have needed anything.

There should be no hesitation in booking this apartment with Julia and we would not hesitate to stay with her again.
