Staying with Amelia is exactly what Airbnb is about! Amelia is a wonderful host who can provide you with tourist information, local knowledge/recommendations as well as information about Barcelona/Catalonia/Spain generally. I loved our conversations and her suggestions. Her apartment is a few blocks from the Sagrada Familia and very close to the Metro. It takes no more than 20 minutes to get to any of the main tourist spots in Barcelona (walking or Metro). The apartment is recently renovated, extremely clean and spacious. Both my bedroom and the bathroom were great. The suburb is pretty quiet but there are convenience stores and supermarkets close by. By far the best Airbnb I have stayed in - absolutely recommend it.
