My stay at Paula's flat was definitely one of the high points of my wonderful two-week stay in Barcelona. She is an extremely warm, interesting and helpful person who always gave me suggestions about where to go and what to see. Her place is very easily accessible by Metro and bus and provides a welcome respite from the touristy neighborhoods of the city. I loved sitting and reading in the roof garden, which offers a panoramic view of the mountains and the city. Best of all were the conversations I had with Paula, and now I feel I made a new close friend as we shared much in common.
Even though I had to leave early in the morning each weekday to attend an institute about 30 minutes away, Paula was very consistent and generous about preparing a delicious breakfast of fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh breads with tasty jams, and cafe con leche. I also was able to buy food and prepare it in her kitchen. Overall, I truly felt that "su casa es mi casa" and give Paula's home the highest rating possible!
