In September 2002, I traveled to Barcelona for the first time. Back then I was 25 years old. I stayed for 10 days and that was enough for me to fall in love with this amazing city. After this trip, I returned to my home country (Germany), packed my bags, made the necessary arrangements, and relocated to Barcelona 4 weeks later. I was only living in my new destination for one week when a local apartment owner asked me if I might know people in Germany who would like to visit Barcelona and rent her apartment for their holiday. And I did. A friendly gesture later turned into a business. Today I own and manage a small and exclusive selection of holiday rentals in Barcelona center. So far, I had the opportunity to host guests from all over the planet; Alaska to Oman, Island to Abu Dhabi, and from everywhere in between. What a great experience. I still remember my first days in Barcelona and therefore understand well how especially first-time visitors feel. There is so much to discover and it gives me great pleasure to not only provide a safe and comfortable place to stay for my guests but also share the rich culture of this unique place. Food, wine, history, and local people are just amazing.
