Jon is a fantastic host, great communicator and provided a lot of useful information and was always available to answer questions. For an additional fee, Jon was also able to provide us access to a private parking spot that he and his girlfriend share -- if you are driving to Barcelona, you definitely need this because parking in this neighborhood is nearly impossible otherwise, it was a lifesaver for the few days we had a rental car. Of the four Airbnb rentals we stayed in on our recent vacation, Jon's place takes the cake. Location is fantastic, the Poble Sec neighborhood is a little off the beaten path from a tourist perspective yet has a lot of excellent restaurants and bars with a local feel and flavor if you want to feel more like a local on your trip (we had some of our favorite meals of our trip at tapas and pintxos bars within a few minutes walking distance of the apartment). Public transportation via the Metro stop Poble Sec is about a 5 minute walk and provides easy access to all points in the city (otherwise walking is about 30-60 minutes to most points of interest of a touristic nature if you are trying to do things on foot, but keep in mind Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain and you're not right in the Gothic quarter here). The apartment itself is a fantastic studio with a good use of the space and a window that opens up onto the street below for a great view of the neighborhood. AC is on point and the bathroom has a great shower. Note it is up 3 flights of narrow stairs so probably not aimed at older or out of shape people, no lift ;) It is very quiet and the house rules are geared towards getting low key adults in there and you are rewarded in kind with a quiet oasis in the middle of a bustling town. Thumbs up, five stars, absolutely would stay here again and would recommend to any and all.
