Liliya and her husband were very helpful and wonderful hosts. I and four of my friends stayed at their apartment for 3 days during our spring break. Liliya gave me detailed directions on how to get there from the airport by either public transportation or taxi. The exterior of the buildings looks a little sketchy but is in fact the complete opposite. Great proximity to the beach. It rained 2 out of the 3 days but the third day was sunny so we walked the promenade. I think Las Ramblas is less than 5 minutes away. At first the apartment smelled like a cat but that was easily rectified. The apartment was comfortable for 5 girls, a queen size bed, two rooms with twin size beds , a roll away bed, and a couch. Also there was a small accident while we were there that was easily taken care of. These hosts are great and very accessible through email and their phone. = )
