Cristina's home is just as shown in the pictures. While it was occasionally a bit noisy at times due to the construction on the Sagrada Familia, the location really can't be beat with the breathtaking and inspiring views of the Sagrada Familia and easy access to the trains and buses. Taxis are cheap as well. The apartment was very clean, charming and comfortable, and the espresso machine made very tasty coffee! Cristina is also a wonderful host. She met us upon arrival and took a lot of time to explain details about the city and culture to us. She was helpful, friendly and patient, and it's clear she loves the apartment and wants you to feel at home too. She even prepared a book featuring maps of the city, restaurant recommendations and city must sees. I would definitely recommend her beautiful home and would stay there again in the future.
