Rita's apartment is in a fantastic location, in an upscale neighborhood called Eixample, located a block from the main shopping area with great stores and some amazing architecture, including a couple of famous Gaudi-designed buildings. She was a friendly, accessible host and greeted us upon our arrival, even though our flight was four hours delayed. The decor was great - midcentury modern with high ceilings - and the apartment building felt very safe. It would have been great if Rita had stocked the apartment with a few basic supplies/amenities as many hosts provide (i.e. soap, dish detergent, paper towels) and/or some instructions on how to use things in the apartment, i.e. the dishwasher and washer/dryer, but the apartment was very clean and we enjoyed our stay there.
