Bohemian Penthouse in Barcelona - WOW!! What a fantastic treat!

Anna was a wonderful and gracious host - she gave thorough and helpful information in the lead up to staying at her place and of the local area and city of Barcelona. She responded promptly to any queries of mine and I found the booking process straightforward and well supported.

After good contact a few times before our stay, Anna met us at the apartment as arranged, and went through all the essentials and had prepared a welcome tray with traditional Catalan food and beverage to try which was thoughtful and much appreciated. Anna went above and beyond with what I was expecting in regards to information available in the flat, complimentary food and products on top of what was an AMAZING flat to stay in for views, comfort and location!

The description of the flat was thorough and true and my sister and I were delighted to find it even better than the photos promised. The beds were very comfortable, and all linen and towels clean and fresh. There was a great size fridge and well equipped kitchen, including washing machine which was welcomed since we had been travelling for a week already. Anna had provided washing liquid, pegs, garbage bags, plastic food containers, cooking equipment etc, so we did not have to buy in home wares stuff in order to live there for the week as in some self contained holiday stays. We even had use of beach towels, umbrellas, picnic stuff and two bicycles if we wanted to - she thought of everything!!! Anna had provided instructions/ labels on all appliances and quirks of her place so we were fully informed and did not run into any trouble using anything.

The highlight for us was the gorgeous sun terrace upstairs which did not disappoint- great views, tranquil setting with bright geraniums and bougainvillea in flower, providing us with a lovely place to read and relax any time of day, or after a morning spent exploring one of Barcelona's museums. We had breakfast and dinner on the terrace everyday to soak up the view of all of Barcelona laid before us from mountains to sea, with Sagrada Familia directly ahead.

Anna's place proved to be all as in the description and then some, and Anna herself was so helpful and friendly, it has made my first experience booking through airbnb one that is surely hard to beat.
