I was in Barcelona to work at the University of Barcelona for a week and Maria's place was the perfect homebase for that week. In just ten minutes I could reach my office, 15 if I went to a cafe on the way. The flat is perfectly connected to the airport El Prat and the city center - getting around was very convenient.
I really enjoyed the view from the room and not taking the keys with me (you leave them with the doorman) turned out to be very convenient since I had one less thing to worry about.
I only met Maria during the check-in but immediately I felt very welcome.
Especially for people looking to work at the UB, this is a great offer.
