Your host in Barcelona

My name is Mónica Fernández, and I am the founder of Friend’s Home.Friend’s Home was born from something very personal. The apartment where you will stay is a place I once called home. It is not an investment property or a space created for short-term tourism. It is a home I cared for, lived in and still feel deeply connected to.When I moved to start a new chapter of my life, I knew I didn’t want to simply rent it out. I wanted to open it to people who would value it — and who wanted to experience Barcelona in a more meaningful way.I have always loved the English language and British culture. Creating Friend’s Home is my way of bringing together my love for people, culture and connection.Here, you are not simply staying in an apartment. You are arriving as my guest in a city I care deeply about.
