Staying with Guilia (pronounced “Julia”) was wonderful. Like most European apartments, the guest bedroom is small with not much room for more than a double bed …but the bed is comfortable (you will have to put your luggage off to the corner).
The apartment is on the second floor so you will have to be careful if you have problems with Stairs. The outside terrace is very inviting , perfect to enjoy the sun or to spend some time reading. Julia will provide you a nice continental breakfast (cereal, toast, fresh fruit) with cappuccino or tea.
The apartment is situated in a very walkable area of Barcelona only 2/3 of a mile to Sant Barcelona train station and very close by to several shops, restaurants and stores. We came off of a cruise ship which cost €35 to get to Julia’s apartment but once there, we walked or used public transportation. After our two day stay, we were able to walk to Sant Barcelona station with our luggage to take the nonstop train to Madrid.
Guilia speaks several languages fluently including Spanish, English, French ,and Italian with some German thrown in. She and her daughter have pets: a Labrador named bambu, a cat, and a pretty bunny named Ian.
Guilia is a wonderful host …very friendly and will engage with you in conversation as much or as little as you desire. Thank you Guilia!
