Maria was an excellent host, and was very quick to respond with any questions we had. The apartment is very large, larger than I expected. The kitchen was well equipped, and had everything we needed. Generally, we would have breakfast and dinner at the apartment. It is very conveniently located and we were able to walk to the many sites including the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia. There are many restaurants within walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay, and if we ever come back to Barcelona we would definitely stat at Maria's apartment again.
