Miriam's a lovely gal and the place was quite well located - close to lots of good stuff. Thanks Miriam!
September 2010Our stay at Miriam and Keely's was fantastic. Keely had a family emergency for which she had leave town a few days before we were going to arrive, but she made excellent arrangements for us to feel at home and comfortable. She was also very flexible on the timings. Their home is beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice to it. The apartment is located very close to La Rambla, and is also very clsoe to 2 metro stations. It's super convenient!
it was a 5 star hotel treatment plus more! homey, accessible, lively and keely had been such a gracious hostess.
Such a nice place. Great location, pleantly of space, there was three of us staying plus Keely (Miriam's flat mate) and it was fine. Friendly and relaxed. Thanks again. Nico
Un apartamento maravilloso en un lugar privilegiado, no solo por su situación centrica sino por la tranquilidad de la calle. Realmente nos enganchó por su decoración, amplitud y sus enormes ventanales (sinceramente, las fotos no hacen justicia...). Nos fuimos cargados de energías positivas. Gracias a Miriam por facilitarnos todo. Repetiremos la experiencia, sin lugar a dudas!!
Miriam's place was amazingly spacious. The pictures do not do it justice. The living/dining room is modern, clean, and very welcoming. Our bedroom had a queen bed with comfortable linens and a big closet. The private bathroom was clean and everything we needed. Miriam was a great host. She was so accomodating and hospitable. She had lots of suggestions on where to go and where to eat. Though we hardly saw her (since she worked), we always felt she was there to make sure our stay was... More »
well this was a real surprise. I arrived in BCN aware that the girls were out of town and met their friend wren who showed me into the apartment. I have to say the fotos on the url of the place don't do it justice its large, sunny and really well located in a funky part of BCN. The bedroom had its own ensuite and the kitchen has massive glass doors that you can open to a secluded yet public plaza below. It was a real gem and many thanks to Miriam for the opportunity to experience this place.... More »
I really enjoyed my stay at Sanctuary and didn't want to leave! Miriam was out of town but Sam was a lovely host. Perfect apartment and I would HIGHLY recommend it to all.
In BCN for business, Miriam's apartment was very conveniently located. Great shower, spacious and pleasant--a great find.
The apartment was clean and spacious. Perfect location and homebase when visiting Barcelona!
A terrific place to stay, very close to La Rambla, transport, everything really! The place was nice and clean and Miriam is a lovely host- she even made me dinner on my last night! I definately recommend this place and would stay again.
We had a wonderful time here! Miriam was traveling while we were there, but we had no trouble with her directions, picking up the keys, etc. Her apartment itself is super relaxing, but it's also right by a ton of restaurants, bars, the beach, La Rambla... it's really the perfect base of operations for any trip to Barcelona. Thank you again for trusting us with your place, Miriam!
Beatiful clean place centrally located near transportation and important sights. Miriam was gracious and attentive hostess and lovely person. Highly recommend this clean place.
VERY good / clean / easy going GREAT location
Just wanted to echo everything everyone has said in their reviews. Loved our time with Miriam and in Barcelona. Thank you again, we had a blast!
Miriam and her place are both perfect for you and your travels. I guarantee it!
Our stay with Miriam was everything we could've hoped for. Plenty of open space and the room was clean and spacious. Her place is right in the middle of all the fun. It's an ideal location. Miriam was incredibly sweet and helpful as well. I would definitely recommend staying here!
We loved our stay at the Sanctuary! It is really centrally located and easy to find after a night of sangria and tapas! The apartment has great windows to let in the sunlight and the shower is hot and strong! We can´t thank her enough for being such a wonderful host!
As expected, Miriam is a gracious, fabulous hostess. Very easy to find her place, perfect directions - went off without a hitch. The room is very cozy and the bed quite comfortable. Her apartment is centrally located to all of the sights any visitor could possibly be interested in - but most importantly, right around the corner from the metro - which, if you're lugging luggage and trying to save on cabs, honestly makes all the difference in the world. Like most respondents, I would stay again... More »
WOW! What can I say? This is just an amazing place to stay. Miriam has a very spacious apartment right in the middle of the historic centre of BCN. If you're still doubting about where to stay... then stop it! Stay with Miriam! She won't disappoint you!
Beautiful location, just between "gotic" district and seaside - lovely interior, internet connection and welcoming helpful hostess. I stayed 5 nights and definitely recommend the place !
Great location in La Rambla, easy coordination with keys, etc. Great visit!
My girlfriend and I stayed at the Sanctuary in August and loved her apartment. The location is close to Barri Gotic and the beach. If it's available, book it!
We had a wonderful stay and Miriam was an excellent hostess. Fell in love with Barcelona too!!
Miriam is an amazing host, she treats you like a friend and is well prepared for any traveller. Her place is clean, open, and accessible. I had an unfortunate situation arrive with my passport getting stolen and she was happy to help without any reciprocation. The world is a better place with people like Miriam!
Miriam and her place are absolutely beautiful. This is definetly the place to stay in Barcelona. We stayed two nights with Miriam and one on La Rambla at the Hotel Continental. Miriam´s place is hands down a 110% better experience. Beautiful space, great location. Very welcoming...would stay there again if we have the chance:)
Miriam was wonderful! Her place was great! If we ever make it back I would stay again!
I had a fabulous stay at Miriam's. The location is amazing and Miriam is a great host!
Not only is Miriam a very gracious and friendly host but her apartment cannot be beat! It has a perfect location, quiet but just steps away from La Rambla and a Metro station. The room is clean and private and the apartment in general is airy and full of light. It would be my first choice for the next time I visit Barcelona.
Miriam's is great. I can't say enough. Great location, great price and great lighting. Charles
Lovely apartment. Very central yet incredibly quiet at night. Really spacious yet warm and friendly. Having the wireless reception extend to the local cafe opposite is a plus too!
I stayed with Miriam for one night while I was in Barcelona on business. The flat is spacious and well kept and Miriam is an excellent hostess and made me feel very welcome even though I was only on a short stop over. Location is also a big plus, in the Barri Gotic and within walking distance of all the sights, sounds and amazing tapas of the El Born district.
Miriam Turner is the perfect guest to have at home!
August 2010Miriam was a great guest, it was a pleasure to have her stay and I wouldn't hesitate to have her stay again. She was respectful of our place, really friendly and I hope to keep in touch with her. I would also definitely pick her place if I happen to be in Barcelona anytime.
Miriam is the Sun in the Day, and the Stars in the Night..., She is the IT GIRL of Positivity.... The Best, Thank you.... ;-)
It was fun to host Miriam, even it was super quick. Hoping to catch up again on her return trip to nyc!! Welcome back anytime!!!!
I cannot recommend staying with Miriam highly enough - you are slap bang in the middle of Barcelona so you can walk to all the major sights, and it's a beautiful, modern, spacious apartment. Why pay over the odds for a soul-less hotel when you can stay somewhere this cool for a fraction of the price? Eirlys
