As a first time Airbnb user I was very skeptical of trying this service out overseas for such a large amount. Because of this I made sure to reach out to Ingrid many times before booking, and she quickly convinced me of the legitimacy. She is very nice, responsive and professional. Fast fwd to our stay...the apartment is beautiful; looks even better than the pictures, if you could imagine that. Cold A/C was a huge plus for us in July. It's very centrally located, walking distance to Familia Sagrada, La Boqueria (which is a must visit if you like fresh fruit), and on the same block as Casa Batllo (was pretty cool to see all the tourists walking around Casa Batllo from our back patio). House was fully furnished with everything we needed and very clean. Thank you for the great experience Ingrid!
