Myself and 3 friends stayed with Barbara while in Europe for a summer study abroad. She was an amazing host. She took off work to meet us at the Barcelona-Sants train station (which is near her home) then walked us to her place gave us keys so we could leave our luggage and explore. Her home is clean and relaxing and she has a nice little patio out back. Barbara was very helpful with any questions we had, was interesting to talk to, and ended up making us delicious spanish omelets our last night. :) Her place is also near the metro, which is a very easy and cheap way to get around the city. We loved it!
