Although we never met Sofia, she still managed to be an excellent host. Her and her husband live in the same apartment block and were able to help us with any problems we had at all. The apartment is small but has everything you need. The air-conditioning is a must-have in the Summer heat. The location of this place is just perfect. It was in walking distance from las ramblas and the shopping district of Barcelona. Although it was in walking distance, it was hidden away in a quiet and safe area, so noise was not an issue. The Fontana metro station is right around the corner, 2 minute walk. We would return again to Sofia's apartment.
