Although we never met Maria she was always quick to respond to messages. Her brother Kiki welcomed us warmly to the apartment and was very friendly and helpful at advising us on transport and tourist attractions around the city. The apartment itself was brilliant; perfect for our group of 5, everyone said the beds were comfortable. The balcony has an amazing view which was a massive bonus, it was really nice to sit outside in the mornings. The location was perfect, right outside a metro stop so getting around the city was easy, it only took 15/20 minutes to get to La Rambla. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, Maria and Kiki were amazing, helpful, and friendly hosts we would definitely stay again :)
