Barcelona, and staying in Alfred and Pastora's apartment, was the highlight of our five week trip to Europe. The apartment is huge (with three big bedrooms and separate kitchen, dining room and lounge room), extremely comfortable and the view over the Sagrada Familia is spectacular. The neighbourhood is interesting and safe and has several cafes at which we really enjoyed eating. It also has excellent public transport links to the rest of the city. As hosts Pastora and Alfredo couldn't have been better. We highly recommend this apartment.
