We had such a great experience staying at Simona's place!

First of all, she was the most friendly and communicative host I've ever worked with. Even when our inbound flight got delayed and we couldn't figure out how to use the Spanish payphones, she waited for us and figured out a backup plan by email.

The apartment itself is perfect for a large family or group traveling together. Our group of 5 adults, 1 teenager, and a toddler all had plenty of room to sleep and hang out. The location is perfect--walking distance to la Rambla, Pl. España, and the metro. So it was easy to get everywhere we needed.

We also discovered an AMAZING empanadas place just two blocks up the street: Rekons. Go there! It's incredible. They hand-make their empanadas and will serve you a special plate called the kilombo with 2 or 3 of them plus a huge salad, drink, and coffee for a very reasonable price.

If we ever find ourselves going back to Barcelona we'd definitely stay here again. Thanks Simona!
