Izaskun and David are great hosts for starters and they were quite happy to share tips about getting around and enjoying the city they love. My wife and I adored Barcelona and their place was the perfect base for us to get out and explore as much of it as we could. The room is very comfortable and is just like the pictures. We enjoyed using the balcony for afternoon tea or other tasty beverage breaks before heading to our next area to explore. Some may find the noise from the street a bit of an annoyance but we found it soothing and it actually helped us sleep at night. Izaskun and David were happy to chat but also gave a lot of space as well because for two days we didn't even see them. The water and toiletries available were very handy and the maps and info they had were perfect to help research and plan an amazing time in the city. Sagrada Familia is so close that we went to see it many times because you can't get bored of that building and just next door is a out of commission bullfighting ring and museum that was a very reflective experience even if the exhibits are a little archaic. My point is that there is a lot to see and do around their place and it's easy to get all over the city as well. The recommendation of the Restaurant Portoles was a winner as well as my wife and I loved the authentic dinning experience. We would definitely stay again when heading back to Barcelona in the future.
