We really enjoyed our short stay in Barcelona. Maite was a Fantastic Host and went out off her way to welcome us to her home. We had a very delayed flight and then on top off that a strike with our airline. We were suppose to arrive at 12pm midnight, our flight was three hours delayed and then on top of that we had to wait for our luggage which took another 1 1/2 hours so we finally left the terminal at 4-5am. I was travelling with my friend and our two young children. I was very concerned that our arranged taxi and Maite might have forgotten us, because we were so late. She was a saviour and waited all night for us, we called her and she arranged right away for our taxi with a car seat as we had a 1 year old baby and was waiting at the apartment for us when we arrived. Her warm smile and generous heart made us feel right at home.

The apartment is very beautiful,bright, clean and the garden outside just amazing. The beds were comfortable and we loved the soft sheets. The kitchen was well stocked with oil and essential cooking supplies. Maite had even brought milk and water for us as it was so late when we arrived.
Our children were very happy to wonder around in a clean and safe environment. We found the location great minutes walk to the supermarket,restaurants, metro. I must say at night it was very quiet considering its location.

We took the bus (Maite suggestion as we had strollers, its mush easier to walk down into the park) to Guell Park and walked home. The Gracia neighbourhood is full of life, great cafes, shops and we found as two woman alone with two young children very safe.

When we left Maite had arranged and called for our taxi. It was stress free

I would highly recommend the Summertime apartment its a hidden treasure with its beautiful garden tucked away in the city.
