Silvia is a wonderful host! I felt welcomed, supported and safe. The apartment was thoroughly clean and well-organized. Silvia obviously takes great pride in sharing her wonderful home with people. It's a great place to stay! For clarity, there are two rooms available: #1 with a balcony & incredible view of the Sagrada Familia, and #2 with a window facing the apartment building's stairwell. I was in #2. With a window facing the stairwell, there was no natural light and the noise level was variable. For me, it was not quiet at night because of the noise from people climbing the stairs and from the activity in other apartments that filtered through. Also, when people climbed the stairway at night they sometimes turned on a light, which slightly illuminated the room. Both of those problems were solved by closing the window, but that meant less air flow. I'd also caution those who prefer a very private bathroom. The shower, which was very small, is not in a closed-off room that's typical of a bathroom setup.
