Highly recommended! We had a wonderful stay in Barcelona - thanks to Irene who was the perfect host.
The apartment is even more stunning and spacious than the pictures imply. We were lucky enough to be the first visitors so had the privilege of using brand new state of the art appliances like cooker, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine and flat screen TV. Irene and her family have done the apartment up beautifully and it has a clean, fresh, modern feel. The terrace is great and you can take full advantage of the sun in the late afternoon.
This was my first visit to Barcelona and I thought the apartment was perfectly located in a thriving and interesting, multi-cultural district. It was far enough from the Ramblas to be quiet – but close enough to walk in to all parts of the city. It was also near enough to walk up the hill to the Olympic park. I actually ran up to the stadium every morning – and there are fantastic views over the whole city. If you have disability issues you might find the 4 floors of stairs an issue – but if you’re fit enough it’s well worth the climb to this gorgeous attic apartment.
Irene and her family made every effort to meet our needs and were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I‘ve never used Airbnb before so I was pleased that the experience worked out so well. If I return to Barcelona – I will definitely be knocking on Irene's door again!
