Silvia was a fantastic host. She supplied us with lots of information about Barcelona and even made some calls for us. The apartment is steps away from the awesome Metro. Her helpfulness for all our needs was great and she spoke fluent English, which was extremely helpful. My family and I actually had a coffee with her at my invitation, but she definitely gave us our space. Having strong wifi, and a washing machine, and well equipped kitchen was a boon after having been traveling around Europe. I highly recommend staying with her.
