I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Marcela and Josep. They are the nicest people I have ever met. Although my stay was short, they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Josep was very quick with his responses and met me in person to gain entrance into the home. Their place is in a perfect location and close in proximity to the metro as well as Sagrada Familia. Despite being so close to a highly visited attraction, I didnt feel over crowded and there wasnt any excessive noise from the outside.
I arrived mid-afternoon and was ready for lunch - Josep suggested a great local restaurant that I very much enjoyed. The house was very clean and you will have a private room during your stay. I felt Josep and his family respected my privacy. They even prepared breakfast and coffee for me, which was amazing and very helpful as I was leaving that day and needed something to fuel me for my long journey back home.
I truly enjoyed my stay with Josep and my family - and highly recommend to any solo female traveler.
