This was our first ever Airbnb booking, and it really set the standard for us! Our whole experience with Mike and his wonderful apartment was a 10+ right from our first communication. Mike always responded quickly to emails before we arrived, provided extensive information about the local neighborhood for when we arrived, and kept in touch throughout our stay to see how everything was. Mike was waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived (we were a bit later than expected too, but this was not an issue for him).
Now, on the apartment.... This place is a gem! Only renovated last year, the apartment is in immaculate condition, has a lovely modern, Scandinavian feel with the light timber raised bed stand as a great feature. The apartment was absolutely spotless - like a show home, was styled beautifully, and also is in a fantastic area that's allows you to feel like you're part of a true Barcelona neighbourhood. The apartment had everything we needed! The apartment is also much bigger than we expected, and was a great little sanctuary to relax in after a busy day of sightseeing. Mike also stocked the fridge with juice, bottled water and some Spanish wine, we were so impressed! Especially after our long flight from Sydney, Aus.
The area of St Antoni is great too, as it is out of th crazy bustle of La Rambla but is still only a 10-15 minute walk there. The area has some amazing tapas and wine bars, most being on the actual street of the apartment.
We highly recommend booking with Mike. He is a top guy, is really welcoming and genuinely wanted to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
Thanks Mike!!!! If you ever need any recommendations in Aus let us know!
