Sofia not only has a great place that is VERY secure but has a surrounding of family that is also very friendly and great. We made a reservation and sofia didn't see it yet, but her mother who lives across the street was there to get us settled in. That is important because we didn't have to wait until the reservation was confirmed, sofia has family on call to help get her guest settled in. Her mother is a strong African woman who has a lot of culture and stories she will share with you as proof the family is welcoming. I didn't get to meet sofia personally but from what I heard she is a strong independent woman herself. The place doesn't have elevators but that wasn't a problem at all, if you can't walk up to the third floor you have no business sight seeing. The place is minutes from the beach, TONS of restaurants around so it was hard to choose where to eat. The area is filled with excitement. When back in Barcelona I will be contacting sofia as the business relationship was built and I can definitely say its a place I'll choose first if available. THANK YOU SOFIA!!!!
