Azucena is very hospitable and friendly but she also respects you privacy and personal space. She has a nice, well kept apartment. She provided a selection of really helpful toiletries such as sunscreen and moisturiser. These were a great help as it is difficult to travel with this items due to security restrictions. She was very kind and helped me sort out the exterior shutter to my room which I had inadvertently rolled up too much and couldn't unroll it. She lives on what the Spanish call the 'third floor,' however the Spanish do not include the ground floor, or the next floor up (which they call the Principal) in their numbering system, so you will have to climb five flights of stairs, as there is no lift. Being five floors up does have some advantages as Barcelona can be very noisy at night time but you do need to be relatively fit. The apartment is located very centrally, so its only 5-10 minutes walk to get to GranVia and another 10 to get to Placa De Espanya, which is the heart of Barcelona. On the downside, the bathroom is rather small. You have to squeeze around the toilet bowl to get to the shower tray and it is accessed via a door in the kitchen. However it was all clean and well maintained.
