Mari 's home was as immaculate and beautiful and gracious as she was as a hostess. Mari went above and beyond for my welcome - literally meeting me at her home at midnight to let me in and welcome me. Then she was so warm and helpful organizing my entire brief but fabulous stay in Barcelona. She made maps and sorted transportation and places to go and even a reservation in the Gothic for dinner. Left early in an am and she called the taxi for me. I cannot recommend her gorgeous flat near Sagrada Familia and metro and Mari herself more highly. Treat yourself to a lovely local welcome and stay there longer than I was able to. I will be back Mari and Gracias Por todo. Donna
