Germán's apartment was really wonderful and relatively updated. Looked exactly like the photos. The kitchen had lots of pots, pans, plates, etc. Germán could not check us in, but his friend Mar was there waiting for us (and we checked in rather late) and showed us around and helped us get situated. Germán was great about responding to all of my airbnb messages and was very accommodating. Also, the apartment had wonderful views and balconies and was very close to the metro. When I come back to Barcelona, I will definitely stay here again!
On a side note, there were only 2 of us but the place could handle quite a bit more with no issues.
