Guestbook
Frederick Buckley. November 2007 Exceptional apartment. I recently moved to Barcelona from London, and I couldn't have picked a better place. It's amazing. It's really close to all the places I used to visit as a tourist---the Ramblas, Paseo de Gracia, Diagonal and Downtown Barcelona. It's close of everything in a privileged area, really safe and quiet. So cool to be living in a residential area not to mention they redesigned the apartment! A modern loft lay-out and a stunning sunny terrace with services like Wi-Fi or a flat TV with english channels. I just can't begin to say how happy I am to have found this place. Definitely check it out!
