Maria and her daughter April were very responsive, and we were pleased with communication. The apartment is great, clean, has a lot of amenities, including a washing machine, and we like its location, as it was near Sagrada Familia. Just a note for those who are light sleepers like me: the upstairs neighbors can be quite noisy and kept us awake one night during the week when they were entertaining. The neighbors were the only downside to our experience, and we really enjoyed staying at Maria's place.
