Elmi / Mira is an amazing person, I talked in spanish with her, and my boyfriend in english. She gave us really nice tips of places to visit and eat around the city. The place is AMAZINGLY located, it is on the same sidewalk of the Monumental metro station, just around the corner, on a really nice, safe and quiet neighborhood. There are several little markets in the neighborhood, as well as restaurantes, also is within walking distance of the Sagrada Familia. We were in the city during the metro/bus strike, and we were able to get around the city perfectly without them. The apartment is renovated, the bedroom really cute and cozy, the bathroom is wide and really nice, as well as the kitchen, which she allowed us to use if we wanted to. Wish I could have stayed more in Barcelona and Mira`s place.
