Andrea's mum met us at the flat to give us the key and explain where the sheets and towels were kept. She was friendly and helpful, and we found the flat perfect in terms of security (the building and the flat both had locking doors and me and my two sisters felt very safe), size (so it was quick to clean and easy to keep track of our stuff) and amenities (good WiFi, nice powerful shower, big fridge, two balconies and everything we needed). We didn't spend much time indoors however as we had a lot of sightseeing to do. The flat is close to the Fontana metro stop on the green L3 line and we traveled by metro every day, which felt like a more authentic experience as well as being quick and cheap. The neighbourhood is lovely, featuring old fashioned narrow streets, picturesque buildings, useful shops, cool bars and restaurants, and a friendly and relaxed vibe. The flat is also just a short walk from Park Guell, which was our favourite spot in Barcelona. Andrea has been helpful and friendly from beginning to end of the process and we would not hesitate to recommend this flat to others.
