Cristian is a great host and his apartment is really more much than you expect.
We arrived to Barcelona a bit late but Cristian waited for us and wellcomed us warmly. He was very helpful and kind whenever we needed anything. He lives in the same building so communicating with him was easy.
The apartment is exactly as on the photos and description. It is big with high ceiling which gives you nice space to live in even for a long time. In the living room you will find a lot of nice books, many in English - art and design albums, comics, guidebooks - as well as huge TV with blueray (and some films to watch). In the kitchen you will find nice cutlery, pots etc so you can easily cook a simple meal if you wish to. In the bedrooms there are brand new beds and enough cupbords to unpack comfortably. And finally in the bathroom - great modern equipment. Everything is clean, modernly designed and comfortable. There is enough place for up to six people.
In the neighbourhood there are several small general shops, greengrocery, couple small but nice restaurants and Carrefour supermarket. There are also three metro stations in 5 minutes distance, from where you can get literally everywhere (direct line to old town). From the apartment you can also take a nice walk to a historical hospital and museum (Sant Pau - 15 minutes walt to main entrance), and to Sagrada Familia (30 minutes walk).
Great experience really. We hope to come again. Thank you Cristian :)
