This was the perfect place to stay as a single traveler! I was traveling alone before meeting up with a friend and I’m so glad that I stayed with this wonderful family. I learned so much more about Barcelona by staying with them and their helpful suggestions really made my trip special.
The location is great - steps away from Sagrada Familia (get your tickets online far in advance!) and steps away from the metro line. Given that it was so close to the metro, it was so easy to run back to the apartment in the middle of the day,
Their English is great so that made it even easier. If you are a woman traveling alone to Barcelona, there is no reason to even think about staying elsewhere!
