House in quiet neighbourhood BARCELONA, Spain
We are a four member family: 2 adults and 2 young adults ( 26 and 24 ).
Our detached house is three floors. It's a semidetached house in Barcelona city, in a quiet and safe area located in one of the hills of Barcelona, walking distance to the best city view in town!!
We have a little terrase on the top floor. We share the swimming pool with other 9 families in the community area.
Public transport:there's a bus stop right in the corner of our house. The bus takes you direct in the city centre or metro stop if convenient.
We can also exchange cars if you want.
We think our house is not the typical house in Barcelona and if you enjoy cities, culture, good food, and a quiet green neighborhood, that's the place.
We have had 13 happy exchanges : Amsterdam, Copenhaguen, Iceland ( twice) , Sallent de gallego, Zarautz (twice), Devon, Glasgow, Arran Island ( Scotland), London, Aix en Provence and Biarritz.
We try to give good advice and plans to our exchange guests and we have a nice "intervac book" that can answer any question you need to know in order to make the Barcelona experience easy and handy, with lots of good advice for the house and the city sightseeing !!
Way of life: we love travelling, skiing, nature, art, music, hiking.
Food shops and supermarket: 10/15 minutes walking from the house.
We live in a very small community and we must keep the calm atmosphere around the house. If you want to have a quiet holiday in Barcelona, this is a good option.
Hope you like our home!!!!

IE3110The exchange was very easy to organise. We felt welcome and enjoyed the visit to Barcelona and can recommend it to others.
Reykjavík, Iceland

IS51868The people were very friendly and helpful and we had a good relationship before and during they stay. They have a lot of experience in house exchange and it was a great first exchange for us. We enjoyed the pool area with our kids. It was easy to take the metro down to Barcelona or the car outside of Barcelona. The home was properly described and met expectations in every way. We really enjoyed our stay at their house.
Boston, USA
USMA622I hosted Emi's daughter at my home in Boston for 6 days, and she hosted my daughter and a friend for a weekend. It all went very well. Emi and her family were very gracious to my daughter when she stayed with them in Barcelona. Emi was honest, direct, and very easy to work with on the exchange.
