This was my second time staying with Silvia, because the host and the place are amazing! Just as last time, the apartment was immaculately clean and very welcoming. The apartment is in an excellent location across the street from the Sagrada Familia Place (amazing views) and right by Gaudi Ave, which is full of restaurants. The subway is on the corner and you can also easily walk everywhere from there. The room itself is incredibly quiet, I slept very well there. Silvia is an amazing host -- warm, welcoming, friendly, generous, and full of insider tips about Barcelona, she even has guidebooks and maps on hand for her guests. We enjoyed coffees and amazing conversation every day, and she invited me to a night out, local style. I felt very much at home and like visiting an old friend! Could not have felt more welcome, and really enjoyed my stay. Highly recommended.
