This is a great place to stay in Barcelona. Mariajose was a friendly host and it almost felt like staying with family. The apartment was easy to get to from the train station and was very clean on arrival.
There are many excellent restaurants within walking distance as well as Cafe's and grocery stores if needed.
If you walk uphill from the apartment you will find a beautiful hospital which has been turned into a museum; if you continue to the top of the mountain you will eventually get the best view of the city and ocean.
Getting to the city center is as easy as getting to the beach; there are trains and buses to both.
Staying with Mariajose was very relaxing and enjoyable.
