Maria is an amazing host that speaks brilliant English and who went out of her way to help us. The apartment is really lovely and worked brilliantly for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The area feels safe, with bars, restaurants and supermarkets very close, its very convenient to the Metro or to get a taxi. The Sagrada Familia is right there too so super easy for visiting. We loved Barcelona and would definitely return here again.
