Maria's place is in an amazing, safe location! The unit itself is very spacious and has large windows offering abundant natural light during the day. The kitchen has everything you need to cook b'fast or and having a washing machine/dryer was a huge plus!
The unit was quite spacious and VERY clean! Usually when we rent places that are reviewed as clean, they aren't clean to our standards. This place was seriously CLEAN! Maria even offered a light cleaning during our stay ;) There are helpful guide books in the unit, plenty of storage for clothes and lots of extra amenities which added to the enjoyment of out stay!
There is a great grocery store steps away, Bon Preu, which has great food for very good prices. It's an easy walk to shopping and dining, and many popular attractions. There is an ATM machine two minutes away (just across the street) and the dog park was entertaining to watch. Glazed windows drowned out the traffic and we used a travel noise machine as always.
Maria was super responsive to any questions we had, and even booked a taxi for us to get to the airport on departure! Would definitely book this place again, if ever in Barcelona ;)
