Juan Carlos & Nina's apartment stayed true to the pictures provided, it's spacious, generally clean, and well maintained. There is one master bedroom, and another bedroom with two single beds. Location wise, the apartment is close enough to Catalunya Square (where the airport shuttlebus stops), around 10 mins away by foot. The apartment was also fully equipped and nicely done up (there is a functional washing machine and an iron + ironing board).

We would also like to point out that we had initially booked the wrong dates for our stay at this apartment. However, Juan Carlos and Nina were helpful enough to assist us in changing our reservation.

When we arrived at the apartment, we were greeted by Diego, who was said to be a friend of Juan Carlos & Nina. Diego was friendly & helpful. He provided us with useful tips on surviving in Barcelona, which we appreciated.

That said, Juan Carlos & Nina could look into improving the overall management of the property in the following aspects:

1. When we arrived at the apartment, we were asked to sign a contract regarding the use of the property, and to provide our credit card details. Dont get us wrong - the terms of the agreement/contract were reasonable. Had these terms been provided to us before we booked the place, we would have no qualms in signing the contract on the spot and to provide our credit card details. What we did not like was the feeling of being "backed into a corner" - if we did not agree to the terms, and provide our credit card details, we would not be able to stay at the apartment (i.e. they were non-negotiable). We have stayed at many Airbnb apartments, and this was definitely a first for us.

2. On a relatively"minor" point, the shower in the master bedroom toilet was rather small and did not have a shower curtain. We therefore had to stand as far as possible to the side of the shower area each time so as to avoid wetting the floor, which was ultimately inevitable. We ended up using the floor towel to stop the over spilling water from flowing into the master bedroom.

Apart from the above two points, this apartment was a great home away from home apartment & we would definitely recommend to our friends as well as stay again the next time we're back in Barcelona.
