“We were delighted to meet Jeff and Diana, our hosts for our stay at their condo in Barcelona. Jeff patiently spent time going over his suggestions for activities and directions to get to places. He generously lent me his bike and took me on an outstanding 3 hour bike tour of the city, showing me the sights with explanations. He went above and beyond when our friends had a health issue, including walking up the city to deliver a house key, bringing them to the clinic, then escorting our friends back to the condo. We only wish we had more time there! Highly recommended!“

“We had the privilege of staying at Jeff and Diana‘a lovely condo in Barcelona. They went above and beyond to make our short stay memorable despite a health issue. The condo was beautiful. Jeff and Diana were welcoming, kind and most of all extreme helpful. We would highly recommend this condo. You won’t find a better place or better hosts! WE WILL BE BACK!!“

“The apartment is really comfortable and can accommodate up to 7 people with two bathrooms available. Excellent cleaning. We appreciated the WIFI, the supply of sheets, towels, soaps; the presence of household appliances, cutlery, glasses, sugar and more in the kitchen. The small table on the balcony allowed us to end the day by relaxing and drinking a glass of wine. The information and advice in the folder available in the living room was very useful. We also appreciated the presence of several markets and places to eat nearby. Thank you!“

“We stayed at Jeffrey and Diana’s place in April 2018. First of all we were met at the apartment by one of the co-hosts and she showed us round the whole apartment and how everything works. Very informative. 7 of us in total, 6 adults and our baby boy. The flat was the perfect size, with 4 bedrooms. 2 doubles, a single and a twin. Also there was a baby crib for Henri to sleep in. easily erected and folded away. The living space was perfect for our group, as it also had a balcony accessible from the living room and the main en-suite bedroom. The kitchen, was really good with everything we needed. Also a full instruction manual with all the relevant info was available. A nice big dining table in the main area to allow family meals. Plenty clean towels and bedding were available also. Nearby there was a good supermarket with everything you could need. Also a few nice little patisseries in a short walking distance away for your morning bread. Plaza Catalunya was about a 30 minute stroll away. and there are two metro stations about 10 minutes walk in either direction. Sagrada Familia is about 2 minutes walk up a shallow hill. Overall, this apartment is recommended 110% for a large family to stay in. Really good and top marks to the host and co-hosts”

“Our family of 5 had a great time in Barcelona. The apartment was exactly as pictured. Great location in Eixample, close to the metro, grocery stores and fantastic local restaurants. Jeffrey was a great host and all the suggestions were terrific. The location really can’t be beat, the city is really walkable and easy to navigate on the metro–highly recommend. We loved exploring the local restaurants and neighborhood. Apartment had plenty of space for all of us. Hope to be back in the future!”

“This place is exactly like its pictures! Lovely, clean, beautiful decor, amenities galore, fabulous suggestions for things to do and places to eat, easy check-in, an overall FABULOUS experience. My friends and I told each other all week how lucky we were to be staying in this well-situated flat. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Barcelona, a city that now lives in our hearts, we will definitely book this place! Thanks, Jeff & Diana. We are beyond grateful.”

This place has it all: it’s a great location; clean, bright and modern; the hosts where friendly and happy to help; all the rooms are large; the kitchen is to die for it has everything you need. I had a great stay with my friends from Barcelona and my guest who are staying with me here in the UK also said it was a great home.

The place was at a great location and the process of checking in and out was very fluid. The apartment was close to many restaurants, a supermarket, and cured meat stores. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the place.

We could not have asked for a lovelier space or location. It was comfortable, walkable, near metro. All the desired amenities were there. Jeff and Diana were responsive and so helpful. We actually relied on their guest book to get some awesome hints about restaurants and coffee shops. We stayed here with our three teenage children over the Christmas holiday and we were delighted by the poinsettias and the Tío de Nadal. The neighbors and the lady at the lobby desk were so attentive and gave us some great tips to neighborhood highlights.

We had the most amazing stay at this apartment. It was very clean with everything necessary provided to make a comfortable holiday. The location of the apartment is close to both metro and busses. We ended up walking mostly as its fairly close to all the hot spots downtown. If you like a little walk that is! It was only me and my dad, but this apartment is big! All rooms looks super comfy and I would definitely recommend this flat for a family or group of friends looking to share an amazing experience in Barcelona. Thank you Jeff and Diana!!

“It was my first time using Airbnb and I can definitively say I will continue to use the site. Jeff and Diana were great! The place was clean and quite spacious, the fourth room was slightly small but we didn’t spend too much time there during the day so I didn’t mind. The location was perfect, within walking distant from the Sagrada Familia. The Camp Nou (where Barca plays) was also easy to get to on the metro (about 30-35mins). Also, you must visit the restaurants recommended by them… the Granja Petitbo was particularly amazing, the best breakfast I had all trip. I definitely recommend staying here! ”

“Excellent experience in the flat of Diana and Jeff. The place met our expectations, and was very comfortable. It was also very close to a subway, Sagrada Familia, Casas Batllo and La Pedrera. Good location and nice and quiet for a family with children. Diana and Jeff were able to tell us all the necessary information to reach the apartment, and were accommodating with our departure times, which was very appreciated. Again thank you to them. I recommend this apartment.”

“Diana and Jeff have a great apartment setup! The bedrooms were good. The living room area was easily big enough for the seven of us, while the flat featured a nicely renovated, modern kitchen. They arranged for us to have a crib waiting there for our infant son. Only downside is that the rooms at the end of the hall share a small shower and don’t get the full benefit of the AC. This is a minor concern overall and the hosts left fans for us to use. Location is great. You can walk to almost anywhere in the city, including excellent restaurants within minutes in all directions.”

“Our stay in Diana and Jeff’s apartment was fantastic. I’d sincerely recommend their flat, we’ve been perfectly accommodated.”

“Terrific apartment, and communicative host. Their representative met us at the apartment, and was very helpful and polite, despite us running late with no way to call ahead. We couldn’t find a store on Sunday to buy a SIM card at airport. (BTW, there’s a Vodaphone store maybe four blocks from the apartment, and they sell a very tourist-friendly SIM card package.) The apartment is very much as described; the kitchen is well equipped in terms of dishes, pots, utensils, glasses, etc. Some basic supplies on hand, and there’s a small supermarket literally next door (opens at 9:00 AM). Location is very good, just a few minutes walk to subway. The street is fairly quiet, although at each end of the block are busy streets. Keeping the bedroom window open allowed in quite a lot of traffic noise … not a huge problem, but noticeable. Amenities all worked great … WiFi, TV, appliances, etc. The apartment is very clean and nicely furnished, albeit simply. Elevators were a welcome feature, since we returned very tired each day. Barcelona is very hot in late July, and quite muggy … the salon cooled off nicely with the AC, but the bedrooms got quite warm. Unavoidable, of course, and doubtless much the same in any other apartment. Nice bakery a couple of blocks away called Joan’s which is open early enough to get fresh bread each morning. And if you’re a beer fan, highly recommend La Bona Pinta, a craft beer mecca also a couple of blocks away (closed Mondays). We’d gladly rent from Diana and Jeff again … we had a lovely vacation, and are very glad we rented this apartment.”

“What a lovely area. Six years ago I stayed in a hotel nearby and this time around in this apartment. Its away from the crowd and loud noise, but is still close to the city centre. The two elevators are very convenient. We were a group of five, so it was perfect and spacious for all of us. The hosts were very helpful, quick responding, and provided all infos we needed. A+++ ”

Ron, July 2016

“The apartment is perfectly located in the Eixample district, within walking distance from the Sagrada Familia, the Ciutadella Park, etc. The metro is also a few minutes away, so it’s a very easy commute into the city. The balcony is also very enjoyable. In terms of amenities, we found everything we needed. The host was very accommodating and friendly, allowing us to check-in earlier as the apartment was ready by then. We were a group of six and we all definitely enjoyed our stay!”

Roxana, June 2016

“This apartment was exactly what we needed. We are a large family and wanted to be close to the main city attractions. The apartment was very nicely set up just as in the photos. The host, Diana and Jeff took all measures to ensure our stay as expected. Muchas gracias.”

Hernan, June 2016

“Great location and perfect apartment for a long weekend in Barcelona with a few friends. Plenty of bars, restaurants and metro stations nearby for easy access to the rest of the city. Rooms were comfortable and facilities great if you fancy a night in.“

Sam, May 2016

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Barcelona.  The flat is amazing and photos are very representative. It’s in  a lovely part of town – quiet area but very easy access to everything.  Close proximity to the Metro but since the weather was great, we put on our comfy shoes and walked the town. We tried a number of the restaurants recommended by Diana and Jeff and were pleased with all of them. There is so much to do in Barcelona, we can’t wait until we return!”

 Joyce, April 2016

“A wonderful apartment close to the Metro (Monumental station is 5 min. walk) and a number of sights (10-15 min walk to Sagrada Familia). Perfect for families with children, lots of space; 2 bathrooms were suitable for 3 adults and a kid. We were satisfied with the quality of the linens, towels etc. You can find whatever you need in the kitchen. The supermarket situated in the ground floor offers a variety of different supplies. The host provides you with all the necessary information. We got immediate answers to our questions. During our next trip to Barcelona we’d gladly stay here! ”

Anastasiya, March 2016

“Good pre-arrival briefing and planning. Nice friendly host. Great location for a stay in Barcelona – Metro nearby, short taxi ride to all key places in the city, supermarkets and breakfast cafes (see the map on the wall in the kitchen!).

Alexander, February 2016

“Very nice and spacious apartment with close proximity to almost everything. Our host was excellent in helping and answering our questions. We all were very satisfied and would love to come back!”

Sondre, February 2016

“It is a very nice and comfortable apartment. We spent a week there (2 adults and 2 little kids) and it offered us all we needed: fully equipped kitchen. comfortable bedrooms, 2 toilets, lot of space for playing with kids. The owner cares for every detail so you receive an apartment that allows you to live there as in your own home (you will even find Nespresso coffee machine, bed for little kid and all necessary detergents). The welcome pack in the house was a nice surprise after trip form the airport 🙂 The location is just great. It is 5 minutes walk to Monumental metro station and 10-15 minutes walk to Sagrada Familia. There is well equipped supermarket in the same building so if you need to buy something you just go downstairs. The surroundings are nice, you will find a lot of restaurants and cafeterias nearby. We can highly recommend this apartment! It’s a good place for a base to go sightseeing Barcelona and good rest after an active day.”
