How lovely, these two talented Men and their very quaint, warm and welcoming apartment. Nice.

The apartment is simple and beautiful. Everything they have is what they love. It' s like living in old San Juan ...it transport you to a different place.. Wow! Thank you, Sussan...

To Joy and to great surprises! That is exactly how their home feels… joyful and surprising, in the most wonderful way. Lovely.

A very satisfying visit. Inigo and Pablo are so talented and delightful. Glad the Prado recognized - and gave them free rein to express - their wonderful creativity. Pure joy…

My only complaint is that this video was far too short. Their apartment has a very 1960s “Roman” vibe and I mean that with the highest of compliments.

Susanna, I can't get enough of your channel! You find the most unique and charming people to feature, who touch my heart and make it swoon with their incredible creativity and warmth. This little apartment is completely overflowing with 'joie', and I am blown away by these men's floral installation at The Prada. This video made me hunger to visit Spain, and gave me a huge energy burst to keep working on my suburban NJ home and inject it with my own 'joie'! Thank you for bringing us to these wonderful places!

The simplicity of the apartment provides a perfect backdrop for their bold art choices. Nothing fussy or overly ornate. I like the bits of humor, especially the figure on the wall, holding the golden sun. I like that the space full of art is very personal for them, and doesn't feel 'put on' for show. Inigo reminds me of the art teacher I had in High School (here in California) for Senior Art Studio, always encouraging me to go bold. :)

Those plaid pants are a hoot. European men have no qualms about wearing stuff that just feels comfortable and they do look as though they are extremely comfortable. Bravo!

I’m not sure all European men would feel comfortable in those plaid/tartan pants…………..I would not for sure and I don’t imagine that anyone I know would. Flamboyant gay men perhaps, but I think that many of them would baulk at wearing anything as outrageously camp. You are hilarious!

@@bradpaul8576 Plaid/tartan trousers are nothing. I've seen worse in Europe - grown men in football strips while not attending a match; 3/4 shorts paired with Birkenstocks and socks; superskinny jeans stopping short of their ankles (still a thing) - all very cringe-worthy. Most of them are Brits and Eastern Europeans though. Mind, there are many European men who are absolute style beasts and they are a joy to behold.

Great video visit, although I like hearing the exchange between Susanna and the designer. This is the perfect visit to a "regular" apartment. I love their point of view and desire to make it their version of coastal. They really show off the idea of layering objects that are found over time. This cannot be duplicated... While you were there, I hope you visited Michael W Smith!
