5 Stars are not enough to express how happy we were with our stay and our experience. First of all, the host family made us feel welcome and honored. They went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They treated us like family and -in many ways- we felt as though we had come home. Secondly, the apartment is stunning. Hear that again-stunning. Pictures do not do it justice. We decided that even if we never left the apartment, the garden, or its pool, our trip to Barcelona would be worth it. My advice to anyone reading this: plan to spend time and experience the story of this place. Plan to respond to what you see, hear, and feel. Plan to write, paint, draw, dance, or sing in the moment. Breathe. Rest. Be restored. The apartment is well appointed with everything you will need. From the kitchen to the dining room. From the living room to the bedrooms- the host has anticipated everything. Beds matter. The apartment beds are very comfortable. Excursion: Catch the Metro out the front door. Groceries: it’s steps to bread, meat, cheese, pastries, groceries, and espresso.
