Our stay with Irina and Mihail was great, they picked us up from the bus station and immediately we felt like we were meeting friends. After arriving at their home and having tapas and drinks, Irina went over the map of the city with us and gave us a brief history of historic sights and what to see. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious and our room was as described. breakfast was simple but certainly enough to start your day, every time we came in for the day we were greeted with tapas and a cold drink. At first we were not sure what to expect being it was our first stay sharing a home, but it was never awkward nor did we feel like we were in the way, they are just so easy going, we enjoyed our talks together about just life in general and our travels. we really do feel like we made some new friends.
The location is perfect, quick ten minute walk to the center, its sites and some great parks, another nice park is right across the street from the building and lots of good little spots to eat and drink enjoying the relaxed lifestyle. Grocery stores are also close by and everything is very walk able. Very easy to get around and very safe neighborhood. would highly recommend.
Thanks again for hosting us, we hope to run into you in Barcelona and hope you are having a nice time. We will keep in touch.
