Sofia's place was great for a few night's in Barcelona. It's in the middle of the Gothic area and my husband and I were able to easily walk or grab public transportation to anywhere in the city. Sofia made sure we were all set upon arrival and was always available if we had any questions. We actually didn't mind the stairs - they're really authentic and old which we found charming and climbing them made us feel better about all the tapas and cava we had :) There are tons of amazing restaurants, coffee shops and bars nearby and we appreciated having a mini kitchenette to store snacks and drinks. One thing to note: the water in the bathroom goes cold every few minutes, but warms back up after 30-60 seconds. If you're a quick bather, it shouldn't be an issue, but it caught us a bit off guard the first time we used the shower. Otherwise, everything was great and Sofia was a nice host.
