When we arrived Noelia was there to greet us. She showed us the local area and ways to get into the city/to the beach etc.
The apartment itself was very nice, it has everything we needed and was very well situated. At one end of the street is the metro station and the other there is a nice stretch of bars and tapas bars. We could walk into the city centre to la Rambla from the apartment, or get the metro which was only a few stops. We found it really easy to get around. The area around the apartment felt very safe and friendly.
Before and throughout the trip we stayed in touch with Noelia. Since we had a late flight home and there weren't any immediate guests coming, she allowed us to leave our cases in the apartment until the late afternoon.
It has been a pleasure to meet Noelia and stay in her apartment.
