Svitlana was very welcoming, and met us on arrival to show us round and give us tips, maps and advice on exploring Barcelona. She encouraged us to treat her home as our home, and was very kind.
Her apartment is in a perfect location, right next door to shops, cafes and also less than 2 min walk from the metro and Sagrada familia. It's a busy neighbourhood and we felt very safe there. The whole flat was very clean and had a cosy feel. She also allowed us to keep our bags there after we checked out, so we could explore Barcelona without big heavy backpacks. Couldn't have asked for a better host or a better experience!
