Carina is wonderful! She informed us of where the apartment was from all points of transportation—she even met us at the bus stop! (There’s one just across the street.) She then took us to the rooftop of the apartment building, that had a FANTASTIC view of the entire city, to show us where each area was in relation to another. She had maps available in the room and asked us where our plans were and showed us how to get to each stop via foot or public transit.
The room, while small, is laid out very well! There’s two twin beds, or one double bed if pushed together. A small table and two chairs for dining. There’s a kitchenette equipped with a microwave and fridge which she stocked with a cold water bottle. The bathroom was well lit and clean. For two girls, it was enough space for makeup and hair and changing outfits!
The room is inside Carina’s apartment, but separate from her space. There are two locked doors inside the apartment—one to hers and one to the rented room. She lends a spare key and even shows you how to lock and unlock properly!
Carina is a wonderful host and when (not if) we come back to Barcelona, I will be sure to stay with her again!
