This place is great! The Garcia neighborhood is the perfect local escape from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona. The restaurants in this area are authentic, the shops are less touristy, and it’s still close to all of the major sites. The apartment is very close to convenient metro stops, as well, which is a wonderful way to get around the city. Evelin and Gisele gave us helpful tips, a welcoming bottle of Cava, and immediate hospitality and responses if we had questions. A HUGE plus - a dryer!!! That’s rare in Europe, in general. It was great to be able to do some quick laundry. There were fans in the bedrooms, and the air conditioning/heating works great. Make sure you see a Flamenco show at the Palau de la Música Catalan, it was a huge highlight for my mother and I.
