Marija was a great host. Right when we checked in she had cold water waiting and even poured us each a glass of sangria. Each morning she set out a traditional Catalan breakfast and encouraged us to try each portion of it. We stayed in the room facing the street which had a door to a small patio. The only possible complaint I could make was the temperature inside the room we stayed in. I understand that Barcelona is not a cold place during late June but despite all efforts our room was considerably warmer from the rest of the apartment. I came down with the flu while there and my fever only grew worse with the heat. There was an AC unit attached to the room but Marija didn't want to use it, understandably.
