Maria's place was excellent! Nice to be away from the tourist areas, but still very close to public transit as well as walkable to grocery stores and other amenities.
Having a washer and dryer in the apartment was a blessing. It not only saved on laundry cost but also was super convenient to have.
There was an unexpected welcome gift and extra sundries in the cabinets that we were welcome to.
The apartment was clean and safe and in a quiet neighborhood. If we come back to Barcelona with a larger group again, we will definitely be hoping Maria's apartment is available!
