We stayed in Barcelona with Maria for 4 days and had an awesome experience with her! The place is spotless and very nice, situated in some 200 meters from the nearest train station. Stepping out of the house you will find a touristic bus stop, which takes you through the city with audioguide. There is a parking line along the road marked blue (which means it is not gratis), but in the area you can find parking for free. We found it 2 blocks away and traveled through the city conveniently with metro. There are a lot of bars and cafes in the vicinity. Maria was lovely and extremely hospitable! As our host she provided us with all information needed and always was ready to give further details on any subject. The room we lived in was quite cozy. It was not equipped with an air conditioner, however there was always a cool breeze, which spared us of any problem with not having one. Great accommodation in a great city!
