Lidia was a wonderful host – really friendly and welcoming. I stayed for one month and felt at home there. The room I stayed in was perfect for one person; it had good storage and a small desk and WiFi access. There are many supermarkets and cafes nearby. It is a 5 minute walk to Vallcarca metro station on Line 3 which is really convenient because this line can take you to the beach, Plaza Catalunya, Las Ramblas and the old town, Gracia, Poble Sec (cheap tapas), the Magic Fountain near Plaza Espana, and more. There are also buses to the centre from outside the apartment. Lidia has two adorable cats. I highly recommend Lidia's place to anyone visiting Barcelona.
