Lola went above and beyond our expectations for a host. Our train arrived in Barcelona before check in time so she met us early and let us store our luggage for a few hours until the apartment was cleaned. Then she met us again to complete the check in process. The next morning we discovered that our coffee maker didn't work so she brought us hers, along with enough coffee for our group of 6. The evening before we left she printed our boarding passes for us - and an extra copy just in case. She responded to our requests immediately and couldn't have been more helpful. Her apartment is in a lovely and well cared for building that's located in an area with more bars and restaurants than we could have visited during our three days. Try La Flauta across the street; the food, wine and service were outstanding! The kitchen was well equipped for cooking (though we didn't) and the sitting room and sun room were a perfect gathering spot for our group. The two showers had plenty of hot water and never ran out, even if both were going at the same time. We were very comfortable and highly recommend this space for a larger group like ours!
