Firstly: the apartment location was fantastic! Sagrada Familîa was literally right down the street from us. We could even view it from our terrace. Amazing!
Secondly: the apartment was just as described! Clean, comfortable, with great bathrooms and a handy elevator.
But lastly (and most importantly): Maria was the best Airbnb host we've ever had. She was so easy to communicate with; helped us bring our luggage up and down; refused to leave until she made sure our ride to the airport arrived; gave us wonderful anecdotes about Spain and her family; asked thoughtful questions about our culture; and overall, made us feel extremely welcome.
More than anything, it was Maria's wonderful, personal touch that made our Barcelona stay truly memorable. It's a shame we only stayed for one night—we will definitely come back when we can. :) Thank you so much again, Maria!
Overall, extremely recommended! Be sure to book this if you can!
