Patricia made me feel very welcome, right from the start when she introduced me to the neighborhood and general area. The description of the apartment was spot on, and there weren't any surprises when we arrived. It felt like a converted hostel, but the spacious and simple nature of the apartment is a perfect fit for a medium/large size group that needs a place to crash while in Barcelona. The common area was large, and there was plenty of space in the rooms to keep your belongings. We were a large, young group and constantly on the move - this place worked very well.
