Friends and I recently spent a week at Maria's place in Barcelona. She was a great resource and responded to all our messages instantly. The location couldn't have been better. The apartment was between the Arc de Triomf and the cathedral. Our street had everything you could want - shops, restaurants, small grocery stores. I think a person could live forever on that street without venturing far. We just loved it. I have to say that I slept in the little bedroom with the twin beds and it was very noisy in there ate times. But the apartment was well furnished and had all the modern conveniences. I would stay again if I return to Barcelona. Thanks Maria
