The overall stay was very good. The flat is confortable and is full of natural light in the living room and the kitchen the whole day long. The exterior room is also light-filled, especially in the morning. The kitchen, although it doesn't look recently refunished, it has all the commodities and it's clean and confortable. There's a dish-washer, a senseo coffee machine, a washing machine which can be programmed to start even in an 8h time, oven, microwave, mixer, mincer and all you can need to make your cooking easy. It has heating and air-conditioning and the house gets warm very fast. The mattress is fine, you won't end up with a back-ache after sleeping there. You have a pretty spacious wardrobe and he will give you the towels and sheets for change without having to ask for them. The bathroom is very confortable, recently refurnished, clean and has a window. The temperature inside the bathroom is warm, the water goes out with good pressure and temperature and there's a hanger for the shower head.

The host is a generous, open and kind guy who will make you feel at home and will make you feel free to use all spaces at home, to turn on the heating (unlike other places in Barcelona) and use whatever you need as many times as you need. I happened to fell sick 3 days after arriving and he even went to do a small shopping for me to have sth to eat and he boiled some rice for me. He is flexible and willing to listen what whatever input you want to make.

The house is located in a building with lift. The neighbourhood is safe, quiet, although humble and there's no neighbourbood feeling. Around the corner, literally, so 2-min away, there's a supermarket open until 21:00 and 2 streets away there's another Spanish supermarket which open until 1:30 in the night or so.

Although you won't be right at the city center, the area is well communicated. The flat is 6 minutes away from metro line 2 which will bring you in 10 minutes to Sagrada Familia, in 15 min to the city center (Passeig de Gracia), and in 20 min to Diagonal - Provença, a key metro - train (Rodalias) hub. Very convenient.

You have to know that the bedroom window opens to the kitchen, to the sink, more precisely. You may need earplugs if you're not an early bird, but the host is very thoughtful and won't turn on the washing machine or the dish washer if you're in bed, unless you insist that it doesn't mind. Since you can spend all your time at home in the living room, this is a minor thing. Nevertheless, he has another exterior room you may choose, instead.

Avoid this place if you are orange-colour averse! ;P

Enjoy your stay! ;)
