Carmen was a very friendly host. She had communicated with us prior to arrival to arrange the keys too. She lives in another flat within the same building, which is great because we could leave the luggage at her flat after check-out, meaning we could still go for a walk before leaving Barcelona. The flat is situated extremely well, within a walking distance from Placa Espanya with all the transport (including buses to the airport). The singing fountain is a 10 minute walk from there. The flat was nice, spacious and clean and there was a good large shower cubicle too, which is especially appreciated by a group of 5 girls! :) Carmen`s daughter who spoke good english recommended some restaurants and places to go and they were really good indeed! Many thanks to both of you!
