I was a solo female traveler visiting Barcelona for the first time ever. I wanted to stay in a safe/secure neighborhood where I could walk at night and be close to restaurants and other things to do during my visit. Eva’s apartment served this exact purpose! I was out and about most of the day and just needed a clean and safe place to rest for the night. She was kind enough to let me use her washing machine for a light load of clothes which was super helpful for me. I was also able to use her fridge and teapot everyday. There are two bathrooms so that helped when it came to sharing with the other guest staying in the other extra room. There was no AC in the apartment, but since I traveled during late September, the fan in my room and opening the window was more than sufficient, especially at night. The elevator up to the 5th floor was also a good perk. Eva gave me great recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Barcelona. I would recommend her apartment to solo travelers.
