Before we even got to Barcelona, Gille was super helpful and kind. We were able to check in early and relax before exploring the neighborhood. The apartment was exactly as described: extremely charming, beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable for 4 adults, loved having a dishwasher and a washer, and our favorite thing was to stand on the balcony and feel the cool air, listen to all the sounds and watch all the different people walking by. The beach is literally a few blocks away; we loved seeing the sunrise and enjoyed spending the day out there. Great places to eat just a few steps away. Easy to get to Las Ramblas and Sagrada Familia. And at the end of a long day of sightseeing, a wonderful place to sit back and have a glass of wine. We plan to be back in Barcelona and hope to stay in Gille's apartment again. Thank you, Gille, for everything!
