This was our first visit to Barcelona; it will not be our last. And our first choice for accommodations on all future visits will be Guillermo's loft. The space is just as advertised -- comfortable, well-appointed and clean. The location is ideal. El Poblenou is a lovely district with a small-town feel but has an amazing culture, food scene and buzz that makes it a destination on its own. From the loft, the center of Barcelona is accessible via a short, easy metro ride; and the Mediterranean beach a short walk.
Guillermo is an amazing host. He provides a personal, comprehensive visitor's guide with detailed tips and recommendations on everything from restaurants to transportation. He also made himself available via messaging if we had any questions during our stay. We felt well-cared-for and able to focus on adventuring, exploring and relaxing.
