Silvia is a wonderful host. She's clear and prompt in communication (e.g. direct you with transport in details and alert you with things to be mindful of), welcoming (I was offered with her yummy home cooking), resourceful (guide you in exploring the town including shows, places to visit and eat with truly good local advice), flexible and accommodating (letting me to check in morning time) and she can be your translator (she helped me in sorting out my ticket issue so I could go to the show)! She sat with me upon my arrival and went over the transport, places to visit and handed a new subway map and all pamphlets on place I want to visit. She’s like a professional tour guide. Overall I felt that she genuinely cares for my stay and help and share her thoughts with compassion. Exceptional host who is thoughtful and making your stay welcomed and comfortable.

Listing is accurate. The place is tastefully decorated. Building itself has its character like the tiles and high ceiling. You would feel you’re on holiday and home at the same time with the lovely incense Silvia lights up from time to time. There are two rooms listed by Silvia, one with balcony while the other is without view. Be sure to check that you are staying at the room that you’d like (I guess most would like a balcony view). I booked the room without the balcony as I was not aware there’re 2 rooms and I intended to stay in the one with balcony. Yet Silvia was efficient and flexible in organizing me to stay at the room with balcony until the next booking she has for other guest. I was pleased that I could enjoy the view to the Sargrada Familia. With a clearer description to the room it would help for the guest to book the right room they want.
The flat locates in a nice neighborhood. It’s safe and I didn’t feel scare at all going out by myself even in the evening. The fact that it’s so close to the train station helps a lot with all the commute around the town.

Oh and all the towels, linen are fresh and clean. It’s close to a hotel standard! The towels are impeccably folded and they smell nice and clean. The place is tidy.

It’s a wonderful apartment with exceptional view and convenient location. To top up you’d have a lovely host. This is what you’d want staying in Barcelona :)
