My boyfriend and I had to do a last-minute booking just a day before our arrival. Maria was really quick to respond to my inquiries and reservation request. The place is as advertised. It's a clean studio with a sofa bed and all the basic necessities. There's no subway closeby but the bus is pretty convenient and it's also walking distance to the beautiful Park Guell. Our only small complaint about the place is the shower - it's quite small and water spills onto the floor easily, and the water doesn't stay hot long enough to wash my hair. But overall, Maria was such a lovely host. She accommodated an early check-in for us and helped us call a cab to the airport the next day.
