Lijie's place has a lot of positives going for it. It is a 5 min walk to Barcelona Sants (a key train, metro and bus station) and is also very close to the Placa del Centre metro L3 line, which is directly linked to the main shopping areas of Catalunya-Passeig de Gracia-Diagonal. Because you are in a residential area, you also have TWO major supermarkets just a stone's throw away (Carrefour & a local brand I think) so you can find what you need to cook meals. The kitchen is well-equipped. The space is also adequate for a family of 4 (we stayed 4 nights), the beds are comfortable and the place is generally clean.
The best part was how good a host Lijie is! Before I arrived, she has already sent me lots of info and answered my queries diligently. And her care is also throughout the stay. We had a slight issue with the water heater which stopped working on the 3rd night. Lijie was quick to send someone to repair the heater the moment I informed her. On the 4th night, the heater somehow stopped working again. This time, Lijie woke up to my text at 4.30am and gave me keys to another apartment in the same block to bathe because she knew we were in a hurry to catch a flight. In fact, she had offered the other toilet the first time the heater broke (she prioritises your convenience), but we did not take it up as we didn't want to pose further trouble. Although we were slightly inconvenienced, but Lijie's response more than made up for it. I will recommend this place. Thank you!
