I don’t even know where to start. I guess the first place people are looking for is location. It was a great launching pad for anywhere you’d like to explore. She is right in the middle of the city, around the corner from the best metro stop & near the busses as well. Plenty of places to eat and places for groceries too.
Then the room - it is perfect. The photos are spot on. I knew there were windows but there is actually a little table and chairs out there that I used almost every day. There is a small refrigerator and she supplies coffee and a light breakfast too (coffee is delicious). Bed and reading chairs are super comfortable and the bathroom is great. There are only 2 rooms there, so yes, you share a bathroom but it’s spotless and caused no problems at all.
And then the best of all, the host. Conxa is so warm and kind and friendly. She was so welcoming and accommodating. Check in and check out were easy. She sent me directions on how to get there and back from the airport (inexpensively). She doesn’t speak much English but it doesn’t matter at all - between her daughter or google translate, we were able to communicate with no issues. She has tons of tips and it was such a pleasure to meet her and her lovely daughter.
I also just wanted to comment on how much I loved this beautiful city. I’ve been so lucky in my life to travel a fair amount. I was blown away by how much I loved Barcelona. The people are so, so friendly, the city and it’s crazy architecture are GORGEOUS, and food is top notch. I went hiking, rented an SUP (water is crystal clear), met up with a local running group for a late night run followed by cocktails (they welcomed me with open arms) took a number of architectural tours, spent time wandering the gorgeous streets, and ate fantastic new foods - what other city has all of that? I would go back in a heart beat, and this would be my first choice of where to stay.
