If you are looking for stay in Barcelona, you should come here. Cristina and Pablo, and they family are very kindly, warmly, and welcome persons! This was my first stay since I came to Barcelona, I'm glad I made this choice. This house is so lovely, and guest room is also comfortable. This area (Sarria) is pretty safety. It was nice to know Cristina's family and this place. MUCHAS GRACIAS A TODOS! ;)

La casa de Cristina y Pablo es muy bonita y espaciosa. Todos los integrantes fueron muy amables y estuvieron dispuestos a ayudar durante mi estancia de 2 meses. La habitación era grande y luminosa con baño privado. Me sentí a gusto en su hogar, lo recomiendo gratamente!

My son of 16 stayed with Cristina for 3 weeks, he went to ESADE which is really nearby.
It was just great ; a nice and caring family, very nice bedroom and bathroom.
Good breakfast, everything available to make his lunch and dinner.
He really felt at ease. There was even a small pool.
I would like to recommend Cristina for the wonderful way people are received at her house and the way she treats her guests.
We were assured that our son was so happy.
Thank you !!!Host reply
Thank you Caroline, but you have to know that your son is really wonderful. He is so well educated, respectful, so easy to live with...he is invited anytime to come back! We loved having him with us, and we miss him!!!
Love for you all!

I've stayed in several homes stays in the past and by far Cristina has been the best host, she made me feel like one of the family.

Cristina was ablsolutely the best host I could have asked for. She and are family are all extremely nice and helpful with everything I needed help with. They had plenty of great suggestions and always strived to make me feel as comfortable as possible. It truly felt like a home away from home.
Host reply
Bryan was the perfect guest, so nice and polite! We enjoyed a lot to spend time with him. We hope to meet him again, and love to visit him in his homeland which looks beautiful in the really nice book his family gave us as a present, thanks a million Bryan!
