Maria Luisa and her apartment were absolutely fantastic. She was the sweetest host we possible could have hoped for! The apartment was very clean and well kept and she and her husband were there to greet us when we arrived. She provided us with a very comprehensive tour of the apartment, making sure we knew how to use the washing machine, all kitchen appliances, etc. She also gave us a city map and several travel/tourist recommendations for our stay. She speaks only limited English, so if you do not have a fluent Spanish-speaker with you, you likely will not get the same extensive recommendations that we did. Regardless, I strongly recommend staying here and will definitely return if I travel to Barcelona again!
