I stayed at Francisca's house for 2 and half months. She is such an amazing, helpful, friendly and welcoming host! She taught me Spanish and provided me with everything I needed. I felt like at home, no doubt. Her apartment is absolutely beautiful and cozy. It is a perfect place to stay for a longer period of time. The room was spacious with plenty of light, very clean, had a big bed and cozy area for read and studying. Also the apartment had beautiful terrace - perfect place to sit and have food or watch breath taking sunsets. The area is very charming and quite, with authentic local shops and restaurants. If you want to have experience living as a local and have the best sleep at night without noises is the best place to stay! It is not far from the Tibidabo and just 8 min with metro to the Placa de Catelunya. I also take a lot of walks it helped me to know Barcelona much better living in this particular area.
Definitely planning to come back there soon.
