Maria was a wonderful host. All communication was prompt and helpful. The location was safe and perfect for us. Her apartment is clean and modern with a kitchen and washer and dryer, which we used. The air conditioning was wonderful in the living room (and master bedroom) while we watched the World Cup finals! Our son used the tower fans available in his room which were sufficiently cool. Maria really rose to the occasion when our son had to have emergency surgery at Hospital Clínic in Barcelona for a ruptured appendix. You never expect or want something like that to happen! Luckily, her apartment is not far from this wonderful teaching hospital where he was treated. We are actually still in Barcelona and Maria continues to ask if she can help us! She is a super host for sure! I recommend her apartment wholeheartedly.
