We loved Barcelona and staying at Sem's house. Sem was away for the first few days of our trip but encouraged us to make our selves at home. He was always available with amazing tips for Barcelona and checking in with us. He was there for the last few days and we had a lovely time with him. The apartment is in an amazing building with a beautiful sense of history while having all the modern updates. Probably one of the best showers ever and the bed was perfect. The beautiful garden is unbelievable (in the centre of Barcelona ?) and the home is within blocks of many of the important things to do and see while you are there. Markets, Pharmacia, restaurants and an amazing Centre for Catalan studies from the 16th century on the same block. I fear Sem spoiled us for anywhere else we stay. We can't wait to go back and spend more time there. Can't thank you enough Sem!
