Maria and Juan were terrific! Her home--with elevator!- is a few steps off Ramblas, yet positioned so there was little noise. The Room/bath/ was at teh end of the house and very private. The house was very clean and airy, and Maria provided us with a good breakfast every morning. The Liceu Metro line was right near her on Ramblas, so any sight not walkable (very few!) was Metro-close. She really helped me! Her friend--an expert hairdresser--wonderfully came to the house and cut my hair--sorely needed. I left Barcelona happy and well-groomed, too! We could not have been in a better property than at Maria's.
