my sisters and i stayed at veena's place. although it started with a mishap with the bathroom toilet, she was able to arrange its fixing within the day while we were exploring out. she's on top of things and i appreciated that with a host. communication with her is quick. the area is also a quiet and safe neighborhood, close to bus and metro stations. there's also a close bfast place, laundry within a few steps. plenty of places to eat out too in the area. she also arranged for the transpo to and from the airport which is one less thing to worry about as a traveler. we had a wonderful time in barcelona and hope to be back soon!
