The host's friend was there to check us in, helped with our luggage (we had a lot because our trip was across countries for a long period of time.) That is a lesson learned, so try not to bring a lot with you...no elevator. she gave us a run down of the metro options and the neighborhood. I loved the neighborhood definitely felt safe. I enjoyed having a cup of coffee in the morning while watching the children and parents off to work and school. I felt like we really got the local experience. The place was clean and adorable. Enough room for two. The beds were extremely comfortable. You are close to bakeries and cafes, restaurants. You can grab coffee and croissants and just start your day.EXTREMELY close to Sagrada Familia (a must see.) We loved driving by in the morning to walking by on our morning stroll. Overall I would recommend this place as well as revisit for sure. Much love and appreciation. Gracias!
