Arrate must be one of the nicest persons living in Barcelona. She's very responsive and extremely helpful. She gave our family a warm welcome and even let us into her place (just around the corner) to print a couple of entrance tickets for a couple of museums and Camp Nou. Thanks again for that, Arrate!
(advice: get your tickets online if you want to avoid waiting lines)
We staid in the house for two weeks and we found it a great base camp for discovering Barcelona. The subway station nearby (La Sagrera) gets you to just about any interesting place in the city. The Sagrera neighbourhood is calm, the rooftop terrace is fun and the house has pretty much everything you need, except maybe for airco. But we knew it would be hot and sweaty in August. So we left the windows open at night and bought some Citronella candles in the local supermarket. They smell good and chase the mosquitos away. Well, most of the mosquitos... :-)
Anyway, we would book again without any hesitation!
