The entire experience with Lia was great. Her apartment is ideally located in Barcelona, one block from the metro and close to a variety of good restaurants. The three rooms (bedroom, living room / kitchenette and bathroom) were all clean and spacious.

Lia kindly left a fresh loaf of bread, jam, butter and ground coffee so I could have breakfast at home. A nice treat. And, there is a 24-hour supermarket just across the street.

The bed was very comfortable and the shower was good. I was traveling alone on business but would definitely come back with my wife. The apartment could fit four but it is ideal for one or two.

Lia was a great host. Responsive, friendly, informative and she has stocked the apartment with pretty much everything you need.

Two suggestions if you book: (1) Bring your own shampoo or pick up a bottle nearby. (2) The WiFi is hit and miss. Sometimes it worked well and other times it was so slow that I abandoned the effort. If you are traveling on vacation, this shouldn't be a big deal as you should be out enjoying the city. But if you need WiFi for an important email, you might have to use it elsewhere. The good news is that in Barcelona, most restaurants and cafés have WiFi so it won't be a problem.

All in all, a terrific experience. Great value and a great host. Top recommendation.
