We just came home from a 10-day stay at Anna Maria's cozy, rooftop apartment and we loved it! Anna Maria described her English as "beginner" but that didn't stop her from welcoming us with fresh fruit, giving us a overview of the apartment and appliances and showing us the closest sights on a map. We felt right at home. The rooftop terrace is beautiful, especially on a sunny day. We loved the neighbourhood as well. It's a safe, residential area with all the amenities one could need and walking distance from anything you might want to see. Or you can just go a couple blocks to the metro if you don't feel like walking. Most nights, we strolled to El Born for tapas and cava :)
