Maria's house was even better than the pictures! The location is great - close to many supermarkets, stores and restaurants. The metro is a 10 minute walk away. The surrounding area (Universitat and Passage de Garcia) is beautifully lit up with lights December time. It is a splendid atmosphere to spend time in. The apartment itself is easily accessible by both stairs and an elevator, although we preferred the stairs.
The host graciously allowed us to leave our luggage before the check-in time. Before handing the keys over, she gave us a detailed tour of the apartment. All appliances were modern and functional. All possible provisions - coffee, toasters, detergents - are taken care of.
The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with love and care. Handmade pieces and antiques are present everywhere! The patio was beautiful, although we could not use it much due to the cold weather. The heating inside is sufficient for winter time. Maria is a great host and was very easy to contact.
As a family of 5, we had a great time at Maria's apartment and highly recommend it to all interested. Maria is a superb host!
