Everything about this space is wonderful. It is far enough away from the busiest places that there is little street noise, but close enough that you can walk everywhere (or take the metro less than a block away if you do not want to walk).
We ended up walking to Las Ramblas the first day on accident, because it is about a fifteen minute walk and the scenery is incredible. There are also plenty of little places to grab food (and a carafe/jarro of the best sangria!) right nearby if you want a taste of local life.
Beatriz checked in with me before we left for Spain to figure out details and give helpful advice for getting to her place using public transportation. She responded immediately to my messages upon arrival, and even walked out to the Central station to meet us before we realized we were closer to her house.
She was very kind-hearted and more than willing to make pleasant conversation, but also gave us plenty of space. We did not see her often but when we did she was always more than helpful and friendly. She left us out chocolates to have with the coffee we were allowed to make with her espresso machine.
The terrace was exactly what we needed- a quiet space to get away. We opted to stay there and drink wine a few of the nights because it was so perfect.
Bottom line, stay at Beatriz's if you want a warm welcome to Spanish life- in a cozy and well-located space.
