Laura was the perfect host for our stay in Barcelona. She was at the apartment waiting for us right when we got in. Once we were in the apartment she provided us with a tour and yus where everything we might need was. Before leaving she event took time to sit down with us and tell us about the many sights to see in Barcelona and provided directions to anything we might need - grocery store, restaurants, etc. The accomadations were pefect for our group of 3, and there was still plently of room for more if we were a larger group. The apartment was clean, secure and very pleasant. Although, we didn't do any cooking we enjoyed having the option with the large kitchen. The neighborhood was also nice as it felt quieter than down town Barcelona, but close enough to walk to some of the main sights. I believe metro was nearby as well, but we never felt like the walk was too far. Overall, a wonderful apartment with great hosts! If we return to Barcelona, we would definitely stay with Laura and Gonzalo again!
