Monica was an excellent host. I was working for a week in Barcelona, and the place was comfortable, clean, and as others have mentioned, has a really nice bathroom. Monica owns a cool and trendy shop in Poblenou, and was always happy to share a glass of wine after work while patiently coaching me as I tried to speak Catalan. Her English is very good, and she’s flexible and helpful. Definitely my first choice if I’m back in Barcelona!
