  My husband and I spent a few days in Annemarie's apartment in August 2012. We were there for my husband's birthday and the city was a perfect place for a celebration! Whatever one might be into, from beautiful architecture, vibrant culture, exciting nightlife and partying, relaxing beaches, great food...it is all there! We truly enjoyed our stay and will most likely go back. The apartment's location in a typical neighborhood is great as a cultural experience, since you are surrounded by locals, going about their daily lives. It is in relatively close distance to a couple of subway stops, which was very helpful. The public transit in Barcelona is great, extensive and efficient. The apartment looks exactly as the photos show. It is a great place for 1-2 people. Our favourite place was by far the patio, especially on these hot summer nights. The sitting area surrounded by plants is lovely. Speaking about the heat: this was a very hot summer and the place can get quite hot, despite the air conditioning unit located in the living room. A ceiling fan in the bedroom or a second air conditioning unit would definitely bring some much needed relief on days when the outside temperature can easily go above 40 Celsius. The place is clean and it definitely has a very cozy feel. Truly offers that home like experience, much different than a standard hotel room. There are a few grocery stores and numerous restaurants within few steps away. The place would greatly appeal to travelers like us who prefer to mingle with the locals, rather than be surrounded by other tourists in a hotel. I also must say that Annemarie's assistance during our pre-booking communication was great. She was prompt and informative. Also, she was gracious in dealing with a mis-communication regarding our arrival time. We had a lovely stay and are grateful for having had the chance to share Annemarie's home!

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

  Thank you, Annemarie for the use of the apartment for the past week. It is a wonderful home away from home and it suited our needs perfectly. The terrace is such a great space – anytime of the day. Your description of the neighborhood on VRBO is so true – so many wonderful shops and cafes – where to stop and how often is the biggest problem! As well, we never once felt unsafe, which says a lot about Barcelona. Probably wouldn’t want to wander the Ramblas at 2 am, but who would. Hope to get back sooner than later.

  A wonderful place for 80+ people to relax and enjoy the ambiance of Barcelona again. We walked the neighborhood and found many of the places you suggested. Took the train to Montserrat… Enjoyed your art work-colors on the wall, plants and the wonderful terrace where we’ve had most or our tapas and wine – such a quiet retreat! Bread and pastries were purchased each a.m., just around the corner. Very handy and so good. If we’ve get another time in Barcelona, we would love to stay in your very nice apartment.

  We loved it here – breakfasts with fresh croissants on the terrace, great tapas and dinners in the area. We hope to return.

  Thank you Annemarie for providing the comfort of your home for our Barcelona vacation. It had everything we needed and then some. We particularly enjoyed the neighborhood and its people. We had a small experience of how they live and enjoyed it immensely. Location, restaurants, shopping, historical and leisurely walks, all so convenient. Best wishes and thanks.

  We had a wonderful brief stay in your perfect little apartment. Such a great place to come ‘home’ after a day seeing the sights in Barcelona. So many convenient little shops right at the doorstep – so easy to walk to Gaudi sights and the old city yet we felt out of the tourist hustle. We hope to come back and won’t forget this little place perched above the busy streets with its garden veranda.

  Annemarie, What a fantastic time we have had in Barcelona and especially enjoyed our ‘home’ in your wonderful apartment. Perfect location and a beautiful abode. We walked ALL OVER THE CITY! The sights, the sounds and smells were fantastic. But there is more to see, so we will be back! Also: love your art!!

  Annemarie, What a great place you have! We did 3 walking tours with Discover Barcelona. Such a great way to get history and modern day perspectives. And Taktika Berri tapas up the street – we called in there every day. It is a gift to open your home to people. Thank you.

  Charming little apartment in central Barcelona. Owner & her agents could not have been more helpful. Great orientation information in apartment, including recommended tapas bars & restaurants, local bakers, pharmacists, grocers etc, making settling in to the area a breeze. Small outdoor balcony was an oasis to sit out on after a days pavement pounding. Well fitted apartment with loads of books, DVD's & CD's. Kitchen tiny, but well appointed and stocked. Location very central, easy access to sites and transport.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.
