“I exchanged with Margarida and her family in July 2013. Everything went very smoothly and Margarida was very helpful. The flat is on 3rd floor with a lift and is literally 2 minutes away from the famous Ramblas. The location really couldn't be better and we spent many hours wandering through the old city streets and exploring the area. Choose from countless tapas bars all full of wonderful food and friendly waiters. An excellent base for exploring the wonderful city of Barcelona. Although in the pedestrian zone, be warned that it is quite noisy, skateboarders abound, deliveries every evening around 8, city street cleaners later in the evening. This did not bother us as we were out and about most of the time, but light sleepers might want to take ear plugs! ;) - Barcelona remains one of my favourite cities and I would not hesitate to return again - there is so much to see and do I don't think you can ever say you've seen everything. Don't miss the magic fountain - but make sure to check the days it runs before you go - it does not operate every day - spectacular :) Thoroughly recommended !!”

Margarida's reviews
As a host (3)“Très bien accueilli par la femme de ménage. Et les échanges avec les propriétaires étaient très sympathiques (Ignasi, le mari parlant très bien le français. Super pour nous !) Propre, pratique, l'appartement est très bien situé avec climatisation. Idéal pour visiter Barcelone (tout près des ramblas, des transports, de tout...). Ville stupéfiante, festive, culturelle, sportive. La mer tout proche! Bref, j'ai adoré!! Petit bémol: le parking est difficile d'accès (proche mais petit). On a privilégié les transports en commun, ce qui ne pose aucun problème! ”
“We did a non-simultaneous swap, with my family traveling to Barcelona end May and Margarida & Ignaz visiting Berlin end July. Both our visit to Barcelona and hosting Margarida & Ignaz at our house in Berlin was just excellent! We briefly met our swap-partners both times, had a short sightseeing, dinner or breakfast together, great conversations and were happy to meet such fine people! All travel arrangements were easy, the flat in Barcelona is beautifully located, very sweet and clean. Margarida & Ignaz are really nice to have as guests, thoughtful, reliable and super-friendly! Hope we meet again in the future! Kirsten”
