Pilar was the perfect host, she was so easy to communicate via email with and sent wonderful recommendations and very clear directions. We had a terrible time getting our rental car (DON"T USE EUROCAR) and didn't get in until 2am, but Pilar's husband met us and was so kind. The parking was very close and the apartment is just as it appears. It is especially nice if you have young children because there are black out shudders so naps and sleeping was made much easier. It is also 2 blocks from La Sagrada Familia and a metro stop. It was sleepy at night and not much is open, but that made it quiet and comfortable. We were really happy we stayed here.
