Maria and her family were gracious hosts for our stay in Barcelona. They gave us a warm welcome, showed us to our cheerful bedrooms and clean, well equipped bathroom. Their place is a great base for getting to museums, nightlife, beach, and parks as their apartment is just a few steps off of La Rambla, 1 minutes from the Metro station, and a 6 minute walk to Plaça de Catalunya. WiFi worked great. We also appreciated Maria's recommendations on which museum tours to a book a few weeks before we arrived. Very comfortable central space for relaxing between excursions, getting ready for next moves, and sleeping- highly recommended.
