I live in a large apartment in the center of Barcelona, in a quiet neighborhood with two very nice cats
My apartment located in a quiet, beautiful and well connected neighborhood surrounded by several parks. Only 20 minutes walking from the beach and from plaza catalunya or from the "Sagrada Família" Temple! Renovated and decorated with care by myself recently try to have a modern, fresh and warm air to make it a cozy corner in the city with a special charm.
I have 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a good sized kitchen and a large dining room.
The single room "Cozy Small Room" is small but comfortable, it has two comfort mattresses for a pleasant rest, it is a sofa bed where two people can sleep comfortably. It has enough space to store clothes and suitcase. Perfect to rest and study.
The double bed room "Cozy Double Room" is a medium room but very cozy and well used, with a large closet to store your bags and belongings, a folding desk to study or organize your day and a
double bed with very comfortable viscoelastic mattress and also has a small fridge.
Apart from your room you have shared access to:
* Complete bathroom and renovated in a fresh and modern way with bathtub where you will have everything you need (hair dryer, etc ...)
* Kitchen recently renovated in a fresh way with breakfast area. It has a microwave, refrigerator, oven, dishwasher .. kettle, coffee machine .. and washer and dryer.
I love to host and to know new cultures, I wish to welcome you in my home with a very warm welcome. You will have the privacy you need but we will be at your disposal at all times to help and assist you during your stay, if necessary.
I work in the beauty sector as na Master Nailtech. I loves nailart!
Note: Remember I have two kittens.. just because of the allergies, and I don't smoke.

About the Area
Great location in a quiet neighborhood near the center of Barcelona. Less than 15 minutes from the Sagrada Familia and only 20 minutes walk from the beach and harbor (you can also go by bus). It is relatively close to important cultural sites (Parc de la Ciutadella, zoo ...) and a 25 minute walk (or 5 minutes by subway) from Plaza Catalunya. The apartment is only 3 minutes from the Marina metro station (red line) and 5 minutes from Monumental (purple line) if you need it. Have 10 minutes to the train station Arc de Triomf and plenty of bus stops! Just five minutes from the bus station which goes directly to the airport in Girona!

House Rules
* We live in a family and quiet neighborhood so it is very important for us that you respect the neighbors and be aware of the noise levels on the stairs and in the apartment.
* On the other hand, you have total freedom to leave and enter when you want but we are not on vacation so if you arrive late please remember that the next day we work and we need respect our rest.
* Please do not bring bath towels to the beach, we can provide you with beach towels if you wish.
* Please do not smoke in the apartment or in the room with the windows open, we are not smokers. If you want to smoke, you can do it on the street.
* We worry that you can feel at home and everything is in condition, please try to take care of it in the same way.
* We have two cats and they are part of the family, they are very calm, you can play with them without problem.
* Most importantly, feel at home and enjoy Barcelona! :)
Smoking is not allowed.

Mel à été accueillante et de confiance ! Nous avons pu être autonomes durant notre séjour et avons apprécié la gentillesse de notre hôte.

Localização é ótima, apartamento é amplo cozinha super bem equipada e a anfitriã é querida e flexível
Único ponto que nos incomodou um pouco foi o calor no quarto, tem pouca ventilação natural e depende do ventilador ficar ligado na nossa direção toda a noite o que acabou nos gerando problemas respiratorios. Se você não tiver nenhum problema com isso a acomodação é PERFEITA!

Hola diego he estado encantada de teneros en casa! Lamentablemente cuando habéis venido ha empezado una ola de calor de casi 40 grados que no es habitual y por ello ha sido dificil dormir sin tener el ventilador a maxima potencia.

Bonjour. Cet hébergement est très bien situé, c'est son point fort. Tout y est très propre. La chambre pour 2 est un peu petite, et je me suis sentie un peu gênée par l'accès partagé à la salle de bain. Attention si l'adresse est facile à trouver, par contre il n'y a aucun nom sur les boites à lettre, du coup il a fallu sonner chez tous les habitants de l'immeuble avant de trouver le bon. Bien se faire préciser l'étage et la porte au moment de la réservation car le numéro de téléphone indiqué ne répond pas . Mon anglais très rudimentaire n'a pas permis d'échanger beaucoup avec notre hôtesse et nous étions fort occupées par les visites dans la merveilleuse
