My wife and I, along with two friends stayed at John's apartment on Carrer de Sepulveda in Barcelona for 8 days this May. It was clear from the beginning that John takes enormous pride in his place. The apartment is lovely, front balcony was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, and una copa de vino in the afternoon. Beds were comfortable. The views matched the romance of the city. The immediate area hosts several restaurants, groceries, wine and other specialty shops. John briefed us on access to the various areas of the city. His advice and directions were spot on and really helped us negotiate Barcelona. The apartment is located convenient walking distance from Monjuic, La Sagrada, The Gothic Quarter, waterfront, Las Rambles, actually nearly all of the major highlights of the city. We Highly recommend this apartment and owner John for you if you're a discriminating tourist looking for a clean and lovely space, in a nice location, and want a taste of local Catalonia. Of all the wonderful possibilities of places to stay in Barcelona, we would assuredly stay at John's place again--Doesn't that say it all?
