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!

Kind regards!July 2018
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

Recomiendo a Cristina 100% y todaaa su hermosa familia (incluyendo Bola su mascota) son unos SUPER ANFITRIONES! ha sido una experiencia que no olvidaré nunca, su casa es muy bonita, y desde que entras se siente la calidez y buena vibra, una singular y alegre familia española, muy educados, respetuosos y amables, una familia muy abierta y encantada de compartir sus tradiciones, su hogar y su vida con otras personas, lo cual te hace integrarte plenamente en su cultura, una familia muy altruista y con una gran calidad humana, que me llevare en el corazón por siempre!

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!

Cristina is the perfect host. She is very friendly and hospitable and goes out of her way to assist with any questions. She has a lovely family and it was like home from home.
We made lovely friends and she and her family are welcome to visit us any day.
I highly recommend staying with Cristina.
