Mathilde was so friendly and responsive throughout the whole process I really felt happy going to stay at her apartment. She was in touch the whole time and answered my questions very quickly and is very charming. Although she was away when we arrived, she had arranged for a friend to let us in and show us around. He was lovely and friendly too and kept in touch from the time we arrived. It was no problem that we arrived very late and we were able to store our luggage on the final day which makes such a difference. Nothing was too much trouble. We were welcomed with a bottle of Cava too! The area is a mix of new bars and cafes alongside the more established local community so there was a lovely at home feel to it rather than being among tourists all the time which I really like. We walked everywhere from here. It is a few minutes from one of my favourite food markets too. The building and the flat were very clean and well kept with a good lift. The flat itself was much bigger than I was expecting and has everything you need. It really is a lovely place to stay with great little touches, As well as two double bedrooms there is a living room and dining area with separate kitchen so it feels very spacious. Everything was very clean and it was very comfortable with great little balconies for people watching. We felt very at home here and would definitely recommend it. Mathilde is an excellent host, very welcoming and incredibly helpful with all of the important things that can make a holiday so much easier - like flexible arrival and bag storage. I had complete confidence we would enjoy our stay even though we had never met.
