Francisco really was the best host. Our flight was delayed coming in to Barcelona and we were unable to call; could only message through airBnb. He worked with us, showed up with a smile and gave us all the relevant info on the apartment and the area. We had a problem with the washer during our stay, and Francisco came by immediately to take a look (I should say, the washer was fine, it was just different from what we were used to and Francisco explained it to us). There wasn't a single thing Francisco could have done to make us feel more welcome. As for the apartment itself, we loved it. Location was great, the place itself was perfect. It was easy to walk around, the Metro is very close. I highly recommend getting the T-10 cards for the Metro if you're staying more than a day. We're from Philadelphia and we're used to taking subways but even if you're not, the Barcelona Metro is easy to understand and get around. You can live like s local in this apartment. Lots of reasonably priced grocery stores and produce markets . The apartment is very, very well-stocked. You will love this place and you will love Francisco. I would stay there again in a heartbeat If I am lucky enough to get back to this beautiful city.
