Thanks to Jose and Patricia for a wonderful stay! From the booking to the checkout, the communication was excellent, prompt and helpful. We really appreciated the details given on how to get from the airport to the AirBnB as well as tips on getting money and being very clear and informative about the required tourist tax. Jose also was nice to refund me some $ because I overpaid the tax. We especially appreciated getting to meet him in person as he walked us through the apartment and was extremely helpful in making suggestions about restaurants, sights to see, etc. even though we had a good guide book as well. (There is a convenient, excellent restaurant right across the street that served excellent tapas).
The apartment was perfectly located for us as we ‘got our steps in’ daily but also were close to a Metro for the day that we took the train to Monserrat. It was close to great eateries as well as several small markets and was very quiet. For us, we didn’t want to stay in the touristy, Gothic area but still close to everything. Couldn’t have asked for more. It was also accurate in its description so no surprises. It was perfect for a family of 4 but wouldn’t recommend for larger than that if they’re not family. The kitchen is small but we were still able to prepare a few meals (we ate out mostly as most should when in Barcelona). Getting to do laundry was great but be sure to start early as it’s not a large machine. Jose did a great job explaining everything and we never had issues. Overall a wonderful place that enhanced all of our experiences. It was an ideal place and highly recommended for anyone not familiar with the city and the hosts were phenomenal.
