Maria was very quick and accurate in communications. As in all things real estate, location, location, location....this apt has a great location particularly for its ample size and value. We needed 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms but this apt. Had three of each, so the women could get ready separately from the men. Maria is a gracious host and left milk, juice, ham, cheese, crackers and fresh fruits out for us. Maria and her assistant Mili were very accommodating as the both arrival and departure times. The location has great bakeries near and just a few short blocks to the magnificent Sagrada Familia. Taxis rides to restaurants or clubs were 5-6 euros and 2 convienant metro stops handy. Apt, towels and linens were very clean. The only inconvenience (not Maria’s fault) was road construction at far end of street which some taxis were put off by. The pictures in her listing under show it’s size and beauty. We enjoyed fresh croissants and coffee on the patio each morning..
