After flight trouble with EasyJet, we found ourselves heading to Barcelona quite unexpectedly. With only a few hours notice Marta had prepared the room for us and happily and excitedly welcomed us into her home.
Marta was a lovely host, sharing local knowledge of restaurants and bars as well as local history!
The location was absolutely perfect, situated seconds from a well connected metro station, we were also able to walk 15-20 minutes to Park Guëll and taxis home from Las Rambla costing less than 15 euros.
Although the room was quite small for two people, with one of the beds being quite uncomfortable and squeaky, it did feel private with its own separate bathroom. The rest of the house was quite stunning with two large terraces allowing you to catch every drop of sunlight. The living space was large and airy with floor to ceiling windows providing a stunning backdrop.
Those afraid of dogs should beware as Marta has a beautiful dog, who is very friendly, however can bark quite loudly at you when entering the home. As two people familiar with dogs, this was fine, however as Lucas is quite a large dog it could be quite intimidating.
A couple of things to look out for; there's a knack to opening the door, double check you have it mastered before a night out,(sorry again for waking you, Marta!) also lock the door when you enter as the dog is able to escape otherwise.
All in all, a wonderful stay- thank you for having us!
