Maria was lovely - a wonderful host. Very friendly and happy to give advise on directions and restaurants etc. Her home is beautiful, and the location is unbeatable. Right in the heart of La Rambla. The bed is very comfortable and the room is a good size. The neighbours downstairs can be noisy late at night and the shower is very small but these were both small things in the scheme of it all. Highly recommended for your next trip to Barcelona.
