I really enjoyed my stay with Olimpia. Nice, safe neighborhood. Great Location - 5 min walk to the metro, 15 min walk to Sagrada Familia, 15-20 min walk to the cool Gracia neighborhood. Big grocery store right across the street. Everything you need is not too far.
Olimpia was a gracious hostess. She made me feel right at home. She gave perfect instructions on how to find her place from the train station. She was always friendly and helpful, and she has the cutest little dogs. She made space in the refrigerator for me, and the kitchen was available for me to use whenever I needed. She was super helpful. She even recommended a great, affordable massage therapist just down the street!
The only thing I didn't like so much (but I'm still giving 5 stars because I really enjoyed it there) was that I didn't have my own key to the house. Olimpia was always there to let me in, but it felt awkward when I came home late. Olimpia was very nice and clear that she would open the door for me any time day or night, and she did with no complaints. But I think it would feel better for guests to have a key.
But having said that, I still highly recommend her place. It's a great value. Thank you Olimpia!
