Considering the plethora of correct commentary about the positive aspects of staying in a centrally located, clean, pleasant and calm environment that Marcela has created in a typically beautiful apartment of the Eixample. I would add that it was the best choice for housing I have made in the past five years while working in Barcelona for six weeks each summer. This year I decided to rent a room instead of an apartment for myself. To my delight, the freedom and respect that Marcela allows her guests promotes an atmosphere of calm by which one can either work, socialize or rest well. And, depending on your desire to engage, Marcela is an incredible person with a generous heart and a quick, observant, creative mind. In sum, she's a wonderful to be with, present but not obtrusive. I speak Spanish, so our conversations were quite fluid and funny, but she can communicate with anyone, since the welfare of her guests is always at the forefront. It was a wonderful experience on all counts.
