Maria Rita was very welcoming, gave suggestions about what to do in Barcelona, and let me use the kitchen as much as I wanted. There is a beautiful balcony where I spent many long evenings. The room itself is a little small (okay for one person, too small for too people). The location is very close to Sants-Estacio and Placa Espanya and a nice walk to Passeig de Gracia and Les Ramblas.
