We really enjoyed staying at Elias’ place. This was our first trip to Europe and were nervous about using AirBNB vs a hotel. We were pleasantly surprised at how simple the process was. We were able to communicate in English. He allowed us to check in when our flight arrived at 7:00 am vs the regular check in, for a small fee. Since we have 16hours of travel with no sleep, that was most important. We were greeted when we arrived and it was all very easy. Only downside was hauling our large 60 lb luggage up 7 flights of stairs. But, we only had to do it once. Lol. The apartment was modern and had everything we needed. I like that it was the penthouse with a patio. The best part was the location. 2 blocks from L1 tram stop. We explored everyday by tram. Elias left maps in the room of both the tourist places and the tram maps. We never got lost and explored all day long., everyday. The bathroom/shower is beautiful & we never ran out of hot water, which seemed to be a problem at other places. My husband had to do business electronically while there. There is a small desk with outlets to accommodate. It is a pretty quiet building, didn’t seem like much street noise. I also really like the wall of windows in the living area as lots of light in the apartment. I would recommend Elias’ place and would stay there again, if returning to Barcelona.
