Maria is a fantastic host, very welcoming and warm. She showed us some of the best places to eat in the local district and advised on transport. The flat is a beautiful old building with tall ceilings in the middle of Eixample. The room is quite small but more than enough for 2 people staying 3 nights. The only criticism is that the bed is quite small if you're tall and the buses outside can be a bit noisy if you are waking up late! Other than this, the flat is perfect for a short stay in Barcelona and you won't find a nicer host than Maria and her daughter who lives there.
