			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h4>Icelandic volcanoes and the Authorities contrive to keep thousands upon thousands of travelers away from family, work commitments or holidaymaking</h4>
<p>Many of our great clients have been adversely affected by the ongoing shutdown of European airspace as they have been forced to cancel trips to Barcelona. I&#8217;d like to offer our empathy to all of you, for it is a situation which could make every one of us feel frustrated and powerless, when all plans go to nought.<br />
Our response to these circumstances is clear and straightforward &#8211; we want to make sure that you won&#8217;t be kept away from Barcelona for long. </p>
<ul>
<li>We will temporarily modify our policy stated in our <a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/practical-information/terms-conditions.html">terms and conditions</a> articles 2.1.1 and 2.2.2 and shall NOT be claiming any cancellation fees from our affected clients who cannot travel to Barcelona.</li>
<li>Whims of the Icelandic gods permitting, our affected clients can make another booking for the SAME apartment (or an equivalent apartment in the same complex) for check in until 31 December 2010 and apply prepayment made as credit for the new booking.</li>
</ul>
<h4>See you all soon</h4>
<p>Moreover, we have NOT raised our prices, unlike many other businesses in many industries which have taken advantage of the unfortunate circumstances travellers have found themselves in.<br />
When you decide to travel our way again, we&#8217;ll glad to welcome you back!<br />
Of course, as usual, I&#8217;m at your disposal should you want to make any inquiries about your bookings and I look forward to your feedback.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h4><span style="color: #333399;">El hombre propone y un volcán islandés dispone</span></h4>
<p>Debido al caos aéreo producido por la nube de cenizas volcánicas, muchos de nuestros clientes se han visto seriamente afectados, teniendo que cancelar sus viajes a Barcelona.  En bizFlats hemos decidido informar públicamente a todos, de cual va a ser el procedimiento que en este caso tan especial se va a seguir con nuestros clientes afectados.</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>NO reclamaremos a nuestros clientes afectados, ninguna cantidad como gasto de cancelación</strong> -según estipulan nuestros términos y condiciones- (apartado 2 puntos 2.1.1 y 2.2.2 sobre cancelaciones y modificaciones)  <a href="http://www.bizflats.com/es/practical-information/condiciones-generales.html" target="_self">http://www.bizflats.com/es/practical-information/condiciones-generales.html</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Nuestros clientes podrán volver a reservar el MISMO apartamento</strong> y hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2010 se guardará como crédito la paga y señal que ya se ha hecho efectiva, para el <strong>MISMO </strong>apartamento (sujeto a disponibilidad).   Esta cantidad de la paga y señal, se descontará de la cantidad total de la nueva reserva.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>bizFlats no ha efectuado ningún incremento en sus precios,</strong> a diferencia de otros muchos negocios, como modo de aprovechamiento en su propio interés de estas desagradables circunstancias.</li>
</ul>
<p>Estamos a vuestra disposición para resolver cualquier pregunta que podáis tener, de la forma que más os convenga:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/es/about-us/contact-us.html" target="_self">http://www.bizflats.com/es/about-us/contact-us.html</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h4><span style="color: #000000;">Como sabéis, </span>Barcelona es sede todos los febreros del más importante congreso mundial de telefonía móvil el MWC y nos llegan gentes de todo el mundo, de los lugares más insospechados&#8230;</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mwc.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1181" style="margin: 5px;" title="mwc en la Fira" src="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mwc.jpg" alt="MWC en la Fira de Barcelona" width="573" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>Llegan a una ciudad de la vieja Europa, mediterránea y llena de historia.  Recuerdo la perplejidad de un cliente que alquiló su apartamento en el Barrio Gótico.  El apartamento era una monada, totalmente reformado y decorado con muy buen gusto.  Nuestro amigo venía de oriente próximo, con sus desiertos, sus ras<a href="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/barrio-gotico-bcn-c2a9carlapiacenza.jpg"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-1182" style="margin: 5px;" title="puente neogótico en el Carrer del Bisbe" src="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/barrio-gotico-bcn-c2a9carlapiacenza-685x1024.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="370" /></a>cacielos último modelo, sus islas con forma de palmera&#8230; y claro, métete en lo que es el Barrio Gótico de Barcelona.  Pues un laberinto de calles estrechas, adoquinadas, mucha fachada de piedra y sol sólo en los pisos más altos.</p>
<p>Su reacción fue &#8220;explosiva&#8221; y había que convencerle en 30 segundos de que no se puede despreciar lo que no se conoce, pero ¿cómo explicarle a un saudí el concepto de gótico?.   No se me ocurrió otra cosa que repetirle muchas veces, con los ojos muy abiertos y moviendo mucho las manos a modo de ¡¡¡¿estoy poseída?!!!, las palabras &#8220;historia&#8221; &#8220;cultura&#8221; &#8220;herencia&#8221; y una vez más &#8220;gótico, gótico, gótico&#8221;.  Y funcionó.</p>
<p>Accedió a subir al apartamento y<span id="more-1179"></span> al final se quedó encantado con la casa, con su estancia en Barcelona y con la oportunidad que tuvo de conocer el mundo fuera de su burbuja de petro dólares.  Por cierto un saludo a nuestro <a href="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mas_gotico.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1183" style="margin: 5px;" title="entrada al barrio Gótico" src="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mas_gotico.jpg" alt="calles de gótico" width="290" height="370" /></a>cliente, que ya se ha convertido en un fan de Barcelona y de bizFlats y con el que más de una vez nos reímos recordándo aquella su primera experiencia con nosotros.</p>
<p><strong>¿Verdad que estamos hartos de oír a la gente decir eso de &#8220;a mi me encanta viajar&#8230;&#8221;?</strong> (¿ehh? Hala venga, ¡y se nos llena la boca!)  Pues viajar y hacerlo bien es difícil; complicado.</p>
<p>Requiere sentido común y sentido del humor y ya sabemos que ninguno de los dos abunda.  Requiere también ponerse lo que yo llamo &#8220;la capa de teflón&#8221; que es la dosis precisa de&#8230; &#8220;me va a resbalar todo lo que me agreda&#8221;.</p>
<p>Como nuestro amigo, que se dejó llevar por la primera impresión y sólo tuvo que tener la paciencia suficiente para darse cuenta de que poniéndose &#8220;la capa&#8221; y rascando un poquito dentro de si mismo, pudo  encontrar en lo que no conocía o no entendía, algo con lo que  empatizar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/crisis.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1152 aligncenter" title="¿quién la quiere?" src="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/crisis.jpg" alt="¿quién la compra?" width="573" height="360" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">¿Alguien se cree que tener una casa en la Toscana, otra en el lago Como, la de Aspen para esquiar y la de&#8230;, es un lujo? pues no.  Una casa necesita cuidados, que se ocupen de ella y eso en lo que se convierte es en una trituradora de dinero, eso no se puede sostener aunque matemáticamente te lo puedas permitir.  ¿Alguien puede entender que uno se vaya de casa y deje todas las luces encendidas y el grifo de la ducha abierto? pues tampoco.  El derroche de agua y el gasto salvaje de energía nos insulta a todos.  Y por último, ¿alguien entiende cómo se puede vivir gastando más de lo que se gana? pues definitivamente no.  De esos barros, estos lodos.  Hemos vivido demasiado tiempo en<span id="more-1150"></span> la época de los excesos y la mala educación y de nada nos sirve justificarnos diciendo que estábamos metidos en esa espiral, que todo el mundo hacía lo mismo o que ese modo de vida ya se había convertido en una costumbre.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Es momento de cambiar, ya es hora.</strong> Seríamos muy torpes si estas situaciones de crisis, no provocaran una catarsis en todos nosotros que redecorara nuestras cabezas&#8230; <strong>seríamos muy torpes&#8230;</strong><a href="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/banera_petalos.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1153" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="mimitos" src="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/banera_petalos.jpg" alt="mimitos" width="573" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>Y la forma en la que nos planteamos los viajes, también va a cambiar.  No todos tenemos amigos que nos puedan prestar sus casas y los hoteles no aportan nada nuevo, ya sabemos lo que son, la vida en 25 m2 y comer y cenar fuera, si o si.  Pero no es culpa de nadie, en todo este tiempo nadie había propuesto una idea fresca e innovadora, que nos enseñara otra cara del cubo.</p>
<p><strong>¿Te imaginas</strong> que tu chico -aquí englobamos todas las categorías:  marido, novio, amigo con derecho a roce-  mientras tú te echas un sueñecito o te das un baño de espuma con velitas o te vas a renovar el armario, se mete en la cocina y cuando tú apareces en el salón te está esperando una copa de cava bien frío, la música adecuada y un aroma delicioso a cena romántica? (lo que nunca hace en casa, claro)&#8230; ¡chicos poneros las pilas que estamos de <a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/bohemian-1-barri-gotic.html"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1154" style="margin: 5px;" title="&quot;Bohemian 1&quot;, nuestro loft de ensueño" src="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bohemian.jpg" alt="&quot;Bohemian 1&quot;, nuestro loft de ensueño" width="390" height="520" /></a>vacaciones! y las vacaciones son para hacer cosas distintas y eso no sólo es hacer turismo, ir a museos, al cine, visitar sitios nuevos&#8230; sino visitar sitios nuevos dentro de nuestros cerebros.</p>
<p>Es hacer cosas distintas con nuestros hábitos de vida, hablar mucho con nuestras parejas, con nuestros hijos, con nuestros padres&#8230; darle vacaciones a nuestra rutina y ocuparnos también un poco de mirarnos hacia dentro, a nosotros mismos y descubrir lo que realmente nos hace feliz.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>¿Y que tal si te damos la llave para hacer eso que quieres?</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Ni en la Toscana, ni en Gstaad.  En <strong>Barcelona</strong>, la ciudad que todo el mundo quiere conocer, tienes tu casa y nosotros la cuidamos para tí<strong> ¿quieres venir?</strong> vamos a ser los productores de la película que tú tienes en la cabeza.  Para tí, vamos a <strong>hacerlo realidad.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>One of my favorite games as a child was to discover buried treasure. Of course, you needed a gang of like-minded &#8216;mates a couple of spades&#8230; and a treasure map! Before you knew knew it, we&#8217;d dug up half the garden and half the lovely old lady nextdoor&#8217;s garden too. The time we got really lucky, we dug up a couple of worms, and kept them to go &#8220;fishing&#8221; the next day.<br />
Flash back to reality&#8230; now that we are all grown up, the romance of the treasure hunt remains entrenched in our hearts. So what better way to pay tribute to our childhood memories than by creating a treasure map of our own?</p>
<p>So we at bizFlats did just that, we created a map with all our properties on it so you can quickly find an apartment in your favorite area of Barcelona. It&#8217;s still in beta, so if you see anything strange happenning, be assured we&#8217;ll work to sort it out. Have a look at the map below</p>
<div id="attachment_1118" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 550px">
	<a href="http://www.bizflats.com/index.php?option=com_jomres&#038;task=mapview&#038;Itemid=200"><img src="http://www.bcnconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/MapView-general-shot.jpg" alt="The new bizFlats Map View" title="MapView general shot" width="550" height="352" class="size-full wp-image-1118" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">The new bizFlats Map View</p>
</div>
<h2>Pinpoint your exact requirements</h2>
<p>You can add and remove the apartments in any area of Barcelona. Likewise, you can add and remove the types of apartments most suitable to your requirements. Then click on a property&#8217;s icon on the map itself to get the vital statistics and a picture in the nifty little bubble.</p>
<p>Atop the map you can see a list of apartments too, which is especially useful when you seek out multiple apartments for a big group, all in one location.</p>
<h2>Toggle to your heart&#8217;s content</h2>
<p>Now you can see your chosen apartments either on a list &#8211; the traditional way &#8211; or on the map. When you include the dates of arrival and departure you&#8217;ll get the prices too. So just click the tabs at the top and toggle back and forth as much as you like. Soon, we&#8217;ll add a synchronization so if you make a change to the list, you&#8217;ll update the map and vice versa. </p>
<p>The treasure of a lovely stay in Barcelona is right here waiting for you to find it.</p>
<p>Do you have suggestions on how to make the map tool even better? Is there a particularly useful tool you have found on another website that you&#8217;d like to share? Tell us in the comments below</p>

<p>You might not have yet had time to adjust to the summer wardrobe and suddenly you discover that your sunscreen has expired, summer is here &#8211; you have to begin to take off your clothes and you&#8217;re pale as a ghost!!!!</p>
<p>Ok, calm down and relax for a while, because we have the cure to all these evils. The apartments with terrace that bizFlats offers, are the solution &#8211; you can now indulge in those first tanning sessions in total privacy and you can then go to the beach without being confused with the sand. <span id="more-22"></span>And if you do not have time to go to the beach, or you cannot put up with sand, salt, children running around your towels and the guy beside you placing his parasol in front of your face, then &#8230; nothing is better than having your own terrace where you decide when and how and where you are in &#8230; 30 nanoseconds.</p>
<p>What to say about summer nights? Dining outdoors or inviting friends for a drink &#8211; true luxuries. Light a few candles, crack open a bottle of cold white wine and only the sky is the limit to your dreams. Our terraces are there, so you may enjoy youselves like everlasting fireflies on any given summer midnight.</p>
<p><strong>Have a look at our terraced properties:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/ferran-batik-zona-alta.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-33 alignleft" title="Ferran Batík in Pedralbes" src="http://www.bcnconfidentialblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/batik_n92321.jpg" alt="batik_n9232" width="575" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/ferran-batik-zona-alta.html" target="_self">Ferran Batik</a> &#8211; <strong>50 m2 penthouse terrace. </strong>Spectacular,  in the exclusive area of Pedralbes.  All main rooms face the terrace which has unique views over the gardens  surrounding the area, so we might say that if there is too much of something in this house, that is light.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/bohemian-1-barri-gotic.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-34 alignright" title="romantic terrace at Bohemian 1" src="http://www.bcnconfidentialblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bohemia-u_h161.jpg" alt="bohemia u_h16" width="575" height="320" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/bohemian-1-barri-gotic.html" target="_self">Bohemian I</a> &#8211; <strong>60</strong> <strong>m2 terrace on two levels. </strong>See the Plaça Reial of Barcelona through a lovely terracotta balustrade.  This amazing loft gives you the feeling to be designed for an eternal honeymoon. The children love its dreamy atmosphere which curiously combines a minimalist sense of space with a baroque sensibility.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/la-rambla-atic-raval.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-35 alignleft" title="La Rambla Atic terrace" src="http://www.bcnconfidentialblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/atic0041.jpg" alt="atic004" width="575" height="320" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/la-rambla-atic-raval.html" target="_self">La Rambla Atic</a> &#8211; <strong>20 m2 panoramic terrace.</strong> A love nest of 40 m2, full of natural light coming in through the large windows that open onto the fantastic terrace, with teak flooring and panoramic views. Whether it be summer or winter, it will be the best setting for unforgettable moments.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/meu-lindo-diagonal-mar.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-36 alignright" title="Meu Lindo Beach apartment" src="http://www.bcnconfidentialblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/meu_lindo_271.jpg" alt="meu_lindo_27" width="575" height="320" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizflats.com/en/meu-lindo-diagonal-mar.html" target="_self">Meu Lindo Beach</a> &#8211; <strong>70 m2 wraparound terrace.</strong> This cutting edge design flat is located facing the Mediterranean sea.  The terrace becomes an extension of the living room and bedrooms.  Thanks to studied conditioning, the imposing table used for dining has its place on the terrace. A day bed surrounded by spheres of light, a spectacular one-of-a-kind teak sculpture, carved expressly for the owner and some silent warriors culminate the decor of this terrace, not unlike the deck of the most luxurious of yachts.</p>
