The photos appealed to me first, then the description. The actual place lived up to the promises, Fiona and Phil's in Barcelona is a gem. Very central, but in a quiet and local neighbourhood. It is located on a large boulevard but facing the interior courtyard the only sounds you hear are those of the many lives lived in the neighbouring buildings and on their balconies.
The apartment is clean, spacious and the main rooms are bright. It is equipped with everything you need, you could easily move in for a while. My friends and I liked the decoration: enough to feel homey and not too much to make you feel like you're invading someone else's space.
Fiona and Phil's welcome was fabulous. The email exchanges beforehand had been prompt and friendly, so it was like seeing old friends. They were in touch with us throughout our stay, we felt very well looked after.
We loved the welcome package - kicking back with a glass of cava before heading out again was a perfect start of a wonderful get-away.
All four of us enjoyed our stay and recommend the central 3 bedroom beautiful apartment in Barcelona.
