I stayed in Rosa Maria's apartment for a one week summer school in Barcelona. The place is in a great location. It's accessible with several bus stops and the Arc de Triomf metro station nearby. A short walk up north leads to La Sagrada Familia. Head down south and you'll be at the beach or Parc de la Ciutadella in no time. There are plenty of bars, cafes, and grocery stores along the way.

The apartment has the usual amenities that a traveller would need. It is very comfortable and homey. She keeps it tidy and cleans the rooms and the shower every day. Rosa Maria is such a fun host. She prepared a spread of jamon, chorizo, pan con tomate, cheese, and red wine once I arrived. The other guests and I even watched a World Cup match with her in the living room while drinking cava. We then had a couple of bottles of red wine and plates of aperitivos in her balcony the following night. She was born and raised in Barcelona and is also well-travelled. So you could talk to her about anything.

I recommend Rosa Maria's apartment for anyone finding a place to stay in Barcelona. It's really a bargain and I won't hesitate staying in her place again.
