From booking until checkout, Loni was an incredible host. Within minutes of booking the property, she had reached out to me directly to confirm the dates and check our arrival time into Barcelona. We landed in the morning, earlier than check-in time. There were other guests in the apartment the previous night, but Loni had offered to meet us to store our luggage so we could enjoy the city. Upon our arrival, she let us know that the apartment was already clean and we could check in right away!
Once we arrived at the apartment (which looked exactly like the photographs - zero surprises), Loni spent time showing us how to work the appliances and explaining the lay of the land in the local neighborhood. She then went through a binder full of information and maps of the city, explaining where the metro and bus stops were, local restaurants and shops, and giving us general tips. This was an extremely helpful start to our trip as it was our first visit to Barcelona.
We had zero issues during our stay, but we had multiple contact numbers as well as a What'sApp connection in case anything did come up. This was our first international Airbnb experience so we were a bit nervous, but I'm so glad I trusted the many positive reviews I read on the website. Barcelona is an incredible city to visit, and having our own "home" in the city for a few days made it even better! I'm back to reality at work today trying to decide when we can go back!
