" I just wanted to say that our stay during the first week of July would not have been the same were it not for the wonderful apartment (Caterina). Not only was it in such a great location, but it was far more spacious, clean and homely than any hotel room. Our greeter Martin was also extremely helpful and welcoming. Without a doubt we would use Loving-Barcelona again.
