Ana is a very considerate host with attention to detail. Communication with her was very easy. She reacted immediately to any minor problems and it is a real plus to have the owner live next door. The location is perfect in a very agreable part of Barcelona. We arrived by car and Ana found us a place in a garage nearby at a very reasonable price. The flat faces the back of the building so there is no noise from the very busy street (only a slight rumbling from the metro) The flat is close to two metro lines and places of cultural interest are within walking distance. The market is excellent and there are several mini supermarkets nearby. Ana gives good advice on restaurants and places to visit. We stayed in Barcelona during the somewhat troubled period when independence of Cataluña was proclaimed. Despite this we never felt unsafe in this part of Barcelona which on the whole seems very safe (except for the odd pickpocket in the city center). We loved our stay! Thank you Ana for looking after us so well!
