О Francesco
Hi, I'm Italian, Business Development Manager multilingual with PDM and Executive MBA and I arrived for the 2nd time to Barcelona many years ago, after living in Switzerland and spending long time in The Netherlands too. I really like Barcelona and I can provide full local information to my guests in different languages. I travelled a lot as a backpacker around the globe and I'm a biker too, therefore I can also suggest nice routes around Barcelona to other bikers or people moving around Barcelona in different ways. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you want to know why I use 9flats, then have a look at my profile on the All-Star Hosts page: http://about.9flats.com/all-star-hosts/francesco

We had a beautiful time at Francesco's place!
You feel ride away at home, so close at the sea side and all the awesome things you can see in Barcelona!
It is really a place where you can relax after all the sightseeing.
We loved the balcony with the amazing view.
We come back next year! -
Marta 5.0 05/26/2014
We had a wonderful time in Francesco´s beautiful apartment! Everything looked exactly as on the pictures so the view was really breathtaking and the way to all our favourite spots done in a few minutes. My personal highly recommended place!

Viktoriya 5.0 12/20/2013
GREAT place, very beautiful terrace, amazing views, very clean, very comfortable king-size bed, loved the window in the shower. It was just PERFECT and the location is very central, close to the beach and to Ramblas. All the necessary amenities, just one word - PERFECTION.
I have never booked flats before, always stayed in the hotels, but after meeting Francesco and staying in this amazing cozy penthouse, I will always book flats this way. Don't be scared, you will love it. Francesco will help you with everything and answer all questions always in time and very professionally.
You will never ever meet such a great host as Francesco. And the appartment is really lovely.

Have you ever sat on a roof-terrace like this with a view at sangrada familia and torre agbar on the one side and a seeview at Mapfre and the gerry fish on the other side through a window... I did and I will miss it at home!!!

Marius 5.0 05/21/2013
Great flat, located very well next to Ciutadella park, close to the city, but not noisy at all. The terrace and views are amazing! You can see Sagrada Familia from the terrace which is sunny all day and the mediterranean sea through the window in the living room. There is everything you need, including dishes, coffee maker, hair dryer, tv, tools, etc. also you will find a selection of information material upon arrival. Check-In and Check-Out worked perfectly without any problems. The next we will visit Barcelona, we will definitly try to stay here again!

Martin 5.0 03/17/2013
Really nice, modern, clean flat in good walking proximity to the town Centre, yet. not noisy. Brilliant view from terrace. Supermarkets and cafes in close proximity.
Very small kitchen unit.
Would stay again - warm/air-conditioned, safe and secure accommodation -
Martha 5.0 01/23/2013
The penthouse's location was perfect for visiting the beach, La Ramblas, Sagrada Familia, and the nearby park. It was close to the Metro and grocery stores. The penthouse was small but very efficient and the view was fantastic.
-
Nelson 5.0 01/22/2013
An awesome apartment located right next to the Parc de La Ciutadella. It was just fantastic. The apartment provides enough space to relax and if weather's good you can enjoy the huge balcony and the sight over Barcelona. Just like the description of Francesco. We definitely recommend this apartment to everyone, young couples, aged couples, families, youths. It was simply amazing.
-
Elizabeth 5.0 10/29/2012
We stayed in the apartment for a whole week. It is in a great location, very close to public transport and a short walk from the sea, gorgeous park and the old town. The apartment is modern, clean and has really nice decor. The highlight is the balcony, which is definitely as nice, if not better than the photos on the website. We saw some spectacular sunsets from there too. We would definitely recommend it to our friends!
-
Peter 5.0 10/20/2012
Everything is new and the kitchenette really well organized.
You have got a fantastic view to the city from the large terrace. -
Florian 5.0 09/13/2012
The best place to stay in Barcelona!! The flat, the bathroom, the terrace, everything was perfect. Everything you need is around the corner. Supermarkets, one of the nicest parks of Barcelona, bus station, metro station, tram station, 15minutes walk to the beach. You have an air conditioner in every room. And best of all: A breathtaking view on Barcelona.
We definitely will come back!! -
Thorsten 5.0 07/02/2012
Best. Holiday. Ever. The penthouse is more than amazing, it has everything you need for a more than pleasant stay in barcelona. Everything you need (beach, supermarket etc.) is near the penthouse or within 15 min via bus/metro reachable. We will come back to barcelona and franz penthouse for sure - thanks for everything!
-
Josef 5.0 06/30/2012
The location is very good, close to the subway, shops - and you are in the middle of the everyday life - instead of the articial hotell-sorroundings.
The flat is in good condition, clean, tidy. The kitchenette is fit for purpose, the bathroom is clean and nice (maybe soime more rolles of toilette paper wouldnot hurt :-) ) and the terass is magnificent. Our daughter even slept out there two nigths.
We recommend the place to anybody - if you don't have a car. Because there is no parking space. -
Dean 5.0 06/11/2012
Everything about Franz's place will more than satisfy. I found the apartment perfectly located for a genuine "local" experience of this amazing town - far enough from tourist hordes yet close enough to dive back in whenever you need to get around. Bus, tram and metro connections are fantastic, with Beach, park and local shops in easy walking distance.
The apartment is well apointed, is very modern and stylishly minimal, making staying here a pleasure.A very special apartment. And the views!! Even the pictures don't do it justice. Just take Franz's place and drink in the glory of Barcelona!
-
anne 5.0 06/02/2012
At first, we didn't know what to write. The thing is, when we tell the truth, then lots of people will book this flat. So the oppourtunity to come back at a time we want to, is not very high... And I can say, we really want to come back! So we decide to tell the truth, our host deserves the praise, for his work:)
The flat is very clean, the ambience in it is great and i didn't even mentioned the amazing view from our balkony. You can see almost the whole city from the 8th floor of the building. Its next to the beach (aprox. 5-10min) and not really far from downtown for a little shoppingtour! -
Daniela 5.0 05/28/2012
The flat is perfect and you have what you need in the small kitchen. Its furnished in a good style, also very clean. The view is amazing and you can use the terrace as your living room. The apartment is also perfect placed in the city. We were walking every distance (Placa Catalunya or Rambla or Beach, Sagrada Familia about 15 min, Zoo 2 min.) or take a Taxi, its cheap or use public transports just around the corner. Down the street on the Beach you have many nice restaurants and Bars. Supermarkets, Bakerys and fruit stores on each sides very close. I can highly recommend Francescos flat.
-
Stefan 5.0 05/07/2012
Die Unterkunft hat uns besonders wegen der schönen Dachterrasse sehr gut gefallen. Alles Nötige war vorhanden und war zweckmäßig und sauber. Die Lage hin zur Stadt war optimal, da zentral und trotzdem ruhig. Wir werden bestimmt wieder bei Francesco wohnen, wenn wir in Barcelona sind.
-
Maximilian 5.0 03/28/2012
Very beautiful appt. very well located at the heart of the city with a breathtaking view from the lovely terrace. It is clean and in perfect condition.
There's everything you need to have a perfect stay in Barcelona: Towels, Sheets, Hairdryer, cooking stuff etc. Way beyond any Hotel for this price. -
Alexander 5.0 03/25/2012
My two friends and I stayed at Francesco's wonderful flat for 4 nights. We had a great time. The flat is very modern and best located to the city. The best place is the Terrace! You have great look all over the city and much sun.
Have no fear to book it - you will love it, like we did.
-
Mark 5.0 03/02/2012
Comfortable flat: Very nice for the price as you feel like on a ship with great views to each side.
-
Ana 5.0 02/28/2012
Francesco's appt. is really well located, quiet, with incredible views and perfectly arranged, to spend a nice hollidays in barcelona. The best part is the terrace!!!
Everything's clean, and well placed, there's hair dryer, towels, and all the cooking utensils that you need.You have 2 big supermarkets near by and all kind of restaurants and clubs just 10 minutes away!
I'll deffinitely return for other weekends!
Thanks Francesco!

Leo 5.0 01/24/2012
The apartment was perfectly clean and recently refurbished so everything is in perfect working order and the flat is designed in a very fashionable style. The balcony and the views across Barcelona are truly breathtaking. The apartment is also in a great location and of the standard beyond a hotel. I recommend it highly!
-
Khong 5.0 12/21/2011
My husband & I stayed at Francesco's penthouse for 3 nights. It's newly refurbished & well-maintained, even better than some hotels. Quiet, peaceful, comfortable sleep. The terrace offers a spectacular view of the city +Sagrada Familia! Very friendly & helpful host. We wish to go back! TQ Francesco

-
Nicole 5.0 11/13/2011
we (my mother and i) stayed 1 week at francescos appartment
i highly recommend everybody who wants to stay in barcelona to book some nights at francescos place
the apparment is in a real good area, its close to a lot of turistic places (sagrada familia), beach and the ramblas (if u want to save money, u can do a lot by foot)
the appartment itself, is wonderful, especially the terrasse as u can see on his pics (that was the reason why i booked it in first place)
i think in the sommer time its perfect for beach vacations and parties at night (i mean its not far to go somewhere!) -
Brigitte 5.0 11/07/2011
Appartement clair, très bien tenu, avec une jolie vue sur la ville et silencieux. Ce logement est parfait pour deux ou trois personnes, il est décoré avec goût et confortable. La cuisine un peu petite... encourage à aller dans un des nombreux restaurants de Barcelone : bref, de vraies vacances !!
-
Florentin 5.0 10/30/2011
Sin duda un lugar perfecto para visitar y disfrutar de Barcelona, por su ubicación, el estado general del piso (moderno), muy práctico, con mucha luz natural y unas vistas impresionantes!! Conozco muy bien esta ciudad por haber vivido en ella un par de años y os recomiendo el sitio sin ningún problema…
Está muy céntrico, cerca de las zonas de copas / restaurantes / discotecas y zonas turísticas más agradables de Barcelona, al lado del Parc de la Ciutadella, en un barrio muy tranquilo a solo 10 minutos andando de la playa!!!!
-
Nikolay 5.0 10/19/2011
Отличная квартира на последнем этаже с шикарным видом на город. Мы приехали во время проведения авиашоу и получили VIP-места для просмотра! В квартире есть вся необходимая посуда и техника. Хороший ремонт в современном стиле, мебель в основном из ИКЕИ. Очень чисто. Лифт доходит до предпоследнего этажа, один этаж нужно подняться пешком. Балкон (терраса) довольно обширный, на нем имеются два лежака, угловой диванчик и столик со стульями, очень уютно. Расположение удобное, до Готического квартала 15 минут пешком, до пляжа примерно столько же, 3 минуты до зоопарка.
-
Ansgar 5.0 10/15/2011
This very nice and modern apartement with a breathtaking view, is one of the best I have ever seen. Perfectly located near the beach and the inner city, you can reach anything of interest. If we will ever visit barcelona again, we will stay in this apartment for sure.
-
Markus 5.0 10/09/2011
Absolutely fabulous place close to the beach and city centre. The apartment is newly renovated and furnished very modern. There`s everything you need to have a great stay. The bathroom is very stylish and there`s more than enough space for 2 people as there is a separate bedroom and a living room! But the very best about this place is the big terrace with the fantastic view over the whole city of Barcelona! There is beautiful furniture and you get the real lounge-feeling:-)
-
Raphaèle 5.0 09/26/2011
Nous avons passé un séjour formidable, l'appartement est magnifique, très pratique et bien situé dans Barcelone. Idéal pour un couple.
-
Sandra 5.0 09/25/2011
I spent one week together with a friend at Francescos apartment and it was in all aspects fantastic! The atico is fully refurbished and well equiped. What you see on the pictures is what you get - and the view from the terrace is magic! Also the flat is very well loacted next to the barrio Borne, the Parc Ciutadella and only 10 minutes walk to the beach. I hope I can stay there at my next trip to Barcelona :-)

Claudia 5.0 06/17/2014
We spent a wonderful week in Barcelona and living in the flat of Francesco made it as comfortable as possible. During 2 very hot days the air conditioning in the flat was our best friend. The location is excellent (you can explore Barcelona by walking- mostly there is no need to use the metro) and the view of the tarrace is outstanding! Last but not least Francesco is a very kind end solicitous host!

Francesco was extremely helpful and attentive. Communication flow was simple and unbureaucratic (E-Mail, What's App) but constantly very serious. I would strongly recommend to choose Francesco as host. He has a range knowledge about Barcelona, and knows lots of good restaurants, bars such as museums or other attractions.

Thorsten 5.0 07/02/2012
It was our first booking via 9flats, but I'm already sure it can't get better than with this guy. He has an answer for everything and answers via email/sms/WhatsApp in a very short time. He gives perfect tips where to go, gets you a discout for renting a vespa, gets you the taxi to the airport if you want etc. etc.. This man is just great. We are looking forward to see you again Franz - thanks for everything! PS: We will not forget the world cup discount you promised ;)

Courteous and professional and easy to communicate with, nothing is too much trouble.

Franz is my introduction into 9flats universe, and he sets the bar very high. Thanks for a great stay and experience Franz!

We will come back as soon as possible! -
anne 5.0 06/02/2012
When we arrived we couldn't imagine how excellent we get briefed by our host. When it is your first time in barca, then he can tell you, where are the ups/downs of the city. I think he got every flyer from the barcelona tourist centre, and could tell us a lot about the activities all around the city. But this wasn't all.... From time to time, he asked us, if he could do anything for us to make our stay much more convinient (i have to say: that the flat and his ambience is more than just convinient ;) )
Although we said this once before to our host, someday we will come back! :) -
Daniela 5.0 05/28/2012
Francesco is a very nice and helpful host. He gives you the feeling that he is interested that you find your way in Barcelona and he starts your stay with practical informations. When you need him, he is there. I will come back, for sure.

Francesco has been a great host to us! Even though we only stayed one night, he offered a lot of help and support about what to do and where to go in Barcelona.
He has been a very kind and helpful person all the time. Even in advance, he gave us information, how to find the flat from the airport etc.
He is the perfect host. If we are able to come back, we will definitely try to visit him again. THX!! -
Alexander 5.0 03/25/2012
