Maria was an excellent host. We were taking the train from Valencia and she gave us directions to take the Metro from the station to the apartment. She met us at the apartment and gave us a tour of the apartment and showed us how the air conditioning and washer worked. The apartment was as described and very clean. The kitchen had utensils, plates, glasses, pans and basic spices as well as coffee and tea. Maria also had a map of Barcelona for us and showed us where to go. Check-out was also very easy. The location is within walking distance of Familia Sagrada, Passeig de Gracia and Las Ramblas but quiet at night. We would definitely stay again.
