Maria was so welcoming and warm. We could not have asked for a kinder host. She provided us with delicious jamon and water upon a late night arrival. There was every type of toiletry one may need. She had plenty of maps and small necessities such as umbrellas that one may find useful during their stay in Barcelona. I am looking forward to staying again in Maria's apartment on our next trip to Barcelona. We loved the kindness of the people in the neighborhood and the gorgeous views. Be aware that the stairs leading to the apartment are narrow, however we did not find them to be a problem at all.
