Monica was a great host and was very helpful with any needs that arose. The location was perfect, the apartment was newly remodeled, and everything, including the kitchen, was new. Close to the metro, shopping and restaurants, and the neighborhood felt quite safe, day and night.
What my wife and I did not know beforehand was that Monica and her family do not live on site, and you may be sharing the space with other guests. We spent 8 nights there, 4 of them by ourselves and 4 of them with a delightful Italian couple, each of us of course with our separate bedrooms and our own baths. The living room was very comfortable with a large screen television, and the kitchen had everything you would need to cook your own meals. The apartment above was a bit noisy at times especially in the middle of the night, but the building itself was good, with an adequately sized elevator and front security door. I would certainly consider staying here if ever in Barcelona again.
