Raquel is an excellent communicator and SUPER host. The apartment is in a great location near to metro and bus routes allowing you to explore all ends of the city. It is close to markets (fresh and supermercarto). The apartment is great. There was enough bedrooms and sitting areas for the nine people in our group. When we arrived Raquel had arranged for a supply of welcoming groceries to ease our introduction into the her apartment. When we left the apartment, we left behind one of our mobile phones. Raquels husband travelled to the train station to try and catch us to return it, when he couldn't find us, Raquel arranged for it to reach us in Barcelona. Raquel and Jorge are great examples of beautiful people. Staying in Raquel's apartment is like staying with family. I would highly recommend.
