Me and my friend stayed at Juan’s place for a week. At the minute our flight landed he was in contact with us, telling all the details for the check-in and sent us a lot of great tips of places to visit/see/eat in Barcelona.
He informed us that he was out of town, but his friend Marcel will be the host for the week.
Sweetest Marcel greeted us welcome at the check-in, she showed us the apartment and told the house rules. She doesn’t speak english, but it was not a problem at all because Juan called right after to tell everything in english and answered any questions we had!
We lived that week together with Marcel and two other airbnb guests. The apartment is big with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and the rooms for the guests. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a view to the street. As girls, we were happy to see that we had an own hairdryer in our room! ;)
We barely saw the other ones during our stay, except sometimes in the morning it could be tricky with sharing the bathroom and shower between 5 persons. But we didn’t feel bothered at all at any point and overall it was really quiet and nice in the apartment. The perfect place to relax after long days exploring the city.
The location of the apartment is excellent!! It’s near to the beach and the beautiful Parc de la Ciutadella. To the main shopping streets it’s about 30min walk. We walked everywhere, but there’s also bus, tram and metro station next to the apartment so moving around is super easy! Also a lot of food markets and restaurants near by!
Juan’s hospitality is beyond great, he checked up on us with text messages every other day to make sure everything was okay and asked if we needed anything. It made us feel safe and cared about!
I’m recommending Juan’s place from bottom of my heart, so please, if you’re without a staying in Barcelona and reading this - BOOK IT ALREADY, you won’t regret! :)
