This was our first time visiting Barcelona and staying at Ioannis' beautiful home was one of the best parts about our stay. It felt like staying at a friend's home rather than a hotel with the decor and personal touches.
The apartment was spacious and welcoming. We loved the airy feel with its open windows and many plants. The location was definitely the highlight of our visit - right by the Gothic Quarter with countless places to eat (tapas, bars, etc) and lively night life. All the major attractions are a bus ride away and Ioannis was a perfect host who laid out instructions on how to get to them.
Please bear in mind that the apartment is four flights up which is a long walk up, but worth it for the location and lovely space. The block is very quiet, but the neighbors are inches away from your windows so we recommend shutting them to block out noise since they tend to stay up past midnight.
We couldn't recommend this apartment more for your stay in Barcelona and would absolutely stay here again in the future!
