Just returned from a really enjoyable few days in Natalie’s apartment. Natalie was a great host, happy to answer questions quickly and ensure we had all the information we needed in advance of and during our stay! The apartment itself was just ideal for us and was accurately described. It’s clean and well equipped and the view from the balcony across the city is great. Because it’s effectively a penthouse on the corner of the building the view takes in much of the city from the Sagrada Familia, round across the Gothic Quarter an on out towards Montjuic. Although the weather was unsettled during our stay there was enough sunshine to eat on the balcony on a few occasions. Had it been better we’d have used it at every opportunity. The location is ideal, just a 10 minute walk from the Sagrada Familia and about 20 minutes from the Plaça de Catalunya. If you don’t fancy walking the Metro is just round the corner. This part of the city is full of local shops, bars, cafes and restaurants; buy great local products and eat in or try some fantastic local food, either way you’ll be spoiled for choice. So, all in all, a great host and a great location if you want to feel part of what is going on in this part of the city, with many of the attractions close at hand and good transport links if you want to venture further.
