Frederique’s house was everything we hoped for and more. After getting off a 3.5 hour flight from Istanbul, our two kids were going berserk. Once greeted by the extremely helpful Ivan, he opened a magical door to a closet full of toys that placated them for days. Within walking distance of the Sagrada Família and Park Guell (the latter is uphill most the way), the house is well located and stylish to boot. The outdoor patio was a fantastic touch, even in February. If I ever was planning a return to Barcelona, first thing I’d do is check if this house was available.
