I absolutely LOVED spending 13 nights at Maité's HAPPY place! Superbly located (you couldn't find a better neighbourhood!) and so easy to get to everywhere from her place! I now call Maite «mi hermanita» because we had such a great time! She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable (we shared our first meal as soon as I arrived!) and way beyond her appartement. She found me free Yoga classes on the beach, invited me on her motorcycle to bring me to a magical flamenco show up in Montjuic, always invited me to follow along while she went to meet her friends who became my friends too and even gave me the opportunity to try on a flamenco dress at her store (my dream!!!!)! Spending time at her place and around her store gave me a real feel for the place and for how people live in Gracia, her really hip neighbourhood! I was travelling alone so it was especially precious for me to end up with someone so open, friendly and generous like Maite. She has a gigantic CORAZON! Her place is really cozy. I never cooked (so many places to eat on the cheap around her place) but really enjoyed my room. It was small (like the picture showed) and just perfect for me. The bed is really comfortable! I wondered alone in the streets day and night and always felt so secure. Her place is also close to 5 public squares that are really alive day and nights so you never get bored. Maite was the best host I could have had (it was a perfect match) and she made me see sides of Barcelona I could have never found on my own. This was the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. Maite- I will definitely be back! I strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a feel for the real, less touristy Barcelona! And for artists and designers, you'll really appreciate all the little shops and studios that you'll find between her place and her shop. Her place is also located between 2 metro stations and on the Passeig de Gracia line so so easy to get to from PLace de Catalunya. I rented a bike for almost my entire stay and it was lovely to bike home every night. Gracia is a really safe and lively neighbourhood and Maite will make you discover drinks you've never had (Tinto de verano!) and Horxata... which I would have never tried without her. A totally amazing very personalized experience! MUCHAS GRACIAS hermanita, ya te hecho de menos!
