Conxa was available at my arrival time and explained all I needed to know in order to be comfortable and made me feel very much at home. The room was beautiful as in the photos, and also clean and fresh in a way photos cannot convey. The air conditioning and wifi work well and there are plenty of electrical outlets in the room. The bathroom, shared with her other guest, is very clean and modern. I felt like a princess there!

Conxa is a warm, beautiful, and caring host who has worked out everything to give her guests privacy yet a helpful presence. I had had trouble while traveling before my arrival at her home, and Conxa was helpful in working out solutions. She was also very patient with my beginning-level Spanish. Her daughter is charming and learning English, as is Conxa herself.

The building is very handsome, with an elevator, and the neighborhood is quite central and accessible for public transportation, yet the windows and shutters provided for quiet so I was able to sleep past early morning. There are several nice cafes and restaurants right in the area and a lovely square, Placa Goya, with benches and bicycle parking within a few steps.

Conxa was flexible to have coffee, toast and other goodies ready for breakfast with what my outing plans were. She let me leave my bags the last day when I was checking out and pick them up later so I could enjoy one last morning and early afternoon in Barcelona. There is so much to see there I will surely go back and I will most likely return to Conxa's in spite of curiosity about other places because I felt so much at a friends' there and I will be happy to know how they are doing.
