Lidia is a wonderful, charming host. She is very welcoming, always quick with responses and very helpful. I happened to perform in a musical concert in Barcelona and Lidia showed up with a group of friends. It was very special, as I didn’t know many people in Barcelona and it was wonderful to see a friendly face in the audience. There are comments about noise coming from the street, but I didn’t find this to be at all what was described. I am very sensitive to noise and a light sleeper and the street noise didn’t bother me at all. If you’re coming from a city, the street noise is nothing out of the ordinary. The location I found to be ideal, as it is away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, but very close and accessible to it. I loved exploring nearby Tibidabo and Park Guell and Barrio Gràcia (where the apt is located) is amongst the most lovely areas in the city in my opinion. All in all, a very recommendable space with a warm, thoughtful host. Gracias Lidia!!!
