If this is your first time using Airbnb, Carlos will set very high expectations. I can't remember many people more hospitable and welcoming than him, he made us feel at home right away. He was even our guide for a Vespa tour of the city! He's very helpful in regards to where to go and what to see. His home is far enough away from the Barcelona craziness and a 20 minute walk to the beach. I highly recommend Carlos as a host.
