Wow, if you get the opportunity to book a room with this host please don’t hesitate to do so. I could tell you that the room I stayed in alone was worth the booking, but that was actually the least of it, but about the room; it was clean comfortable and had everything I needed and more. (Khris is very thoughtful about the needs of her guests and provides for most of what anyone would require). The room I stayed in has a balcony that overlooks La Sagrada Familia and the park in front of it. OMG! I couldn’t believe how amazing the view was, and that I could sit on my private balcony and watch all the activity of charming Barcelona while viewing the grand Cathedral in the sunshine.
My bed was very comfortable and the location of the apartment was perfectly situated in the city that I could walk to most of the sites with no problem. Before my trip even began Khris sent me so much helpful recommendations and suggestions about getting there and what to see. In fact I had a lot of questions which she promptly and thoroughly responded to in detail with web links etc. for me to research on my own. It was like having my own personal travel consultant all included in the very reasonable price of my room.
Khris herself is so warm and engaging. Very welcoming and easy to know. I felt like I was being greeted by an old friend when she met me at the metro station to walk the 30 steps to her home. Her english is great, which is helpful because a lot of Catalonians don’t speak english well if at all. Her home is artfully decorated, very clean and organized, comfortable and cheerful.
I had an amazing stay in Barcelona, and I will say that a large part of it being so successful was due to Khris, her home, and all of the resources and tourist site information that she so generously offers and loans out. She was abundantly helpful and engaging, while also being respectful of time and of my space.
