EXCELLENT -- stay here!
Maria and Ignasi saved us when our previous Airbnb did not work out. Maria got back to us very soon and allowed us to drop off our stuff as early as we wanted.
1) Apartment + Room: The space is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful decorated, with two large terraces and a lot of light throughout. The room is on the small side but perfectly functional and it has its own (very large) bathroom with all amenities. Everything was very clean and quiet.
2) Interactions with hosts: Maria is very easy and pleasant to be around! She would not mind at all us walking around the apartment, making coffee, and using the outdoor space for hanging out. She is very fun to talk to! She gave us as much space as we needed while being available to chat and help out.
3) Location: We LOVED the neighborhood, surrounding by little shops, bakeries and bars everywhere. The apartment is a block away from two squares: Placa del Sol, and Placa de la Vila de Gracia where locals hang out. It is a short walk to the metro (L3, L4 lines) and easy to get to anywhere in the city.
We would --absolutely-- LOVE to stay here again!
