Flat with lots of light close to the beach and the centre.
The Space
My home is a rather new flat of 50 sqm for 1 bedroom.
It's full of light, as the kitchen and living room have very high crystal doors to the balcony. The balcony can normally be used from May to the end of October, as the weather in Barcelona is rather mild.
As I work from home, there is a desk and good office chair for work + good Internet connection.
Guest Access
2 lifts to the flat.
Notes
The bed is a 1,35m one, not so wide, but normally enough for a couple.

Neighbourhood
I live in the neighbourhood of Poblenou. It used to be an industrial area, now transformed into a rather trendy one.
There's a mixture of old industrial buildings, universities, new technological companie, mixed, cosy small streets, etc. There are nicer parts than others, but I love living there.
It's also close to the beach, so I go for a walk along the beach almost every day. There are other several areas of the city at walkable distance (Ciudadella Park, food market, shopping centre).

Getting Around
You can walk to many shops restaurants, or take the metro to be in the centre of Barcelona in 4 stops to Plaça Catalunya. There are two underground lines close by.
I also live close to several nearby train stations (Clot, Sant Andreu Arenal) that allow you to go towards the North and to the main bus station in Barcelona (Estació del Nord).

I'm a freelance translator and I can work from anywhere, so I like to take the opportunity to stay 4-6 weeks elsewhere, live a "normal" life and get to know a new culture.
I've already done a few exchanges, mainly in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, and a couple in Europe. In October I will do my first with PLU.
I usually travel alone, so I'd like to do an exchange with a centrally located flat where I can meet new people, go for a coffee and socialise a bit without having to use the car.
I prefer to do exchanges with main houses, as I really like the feeling of being in a real house. I can almost only do simultaneous exchanges as this is my only flat, but occasionally my flat may be available for about 1 week while I visit my parents or go on holiday.
