This was our first Airbnb experience (overseas, even) and the experience couldn't have been better. Fernando was super kind, helpful and gracious. We arrived in the morning from the US, and Fernando allowed us to come to the apartment straight from the airport hours before check-in (which was amazing, for we had two exhausted little kids with us!).

The apartment was very clean, simple, and stocked with all the basics. Kids loved the bunk beds. There's a small patio out back where 4 can hang out, eat and hang wet laundry to dry on clotheslines. The apartment doesn't feel overly lived-in at all.

Proximity wise, the apartment was a 15 min walk from the popular La Rambla shopping and tourism area. Downstairs on the street we found everything we needed from water to wine, bread, snacks, etc.

We visited in July, so it was definitely warm. There was one air conditioner is in the kitchen, so at night we used a fan (provided in the apt) to blow air down the hall to the bedrooms. Worked fine and we were perfectly comfortable.

Something to keep in mind is that this is an apartment inside a building with other apartments, so you will hear people from other units at all hours of the day. Didn't bother us at all though - all part of the charm.

Fernando was always within reach, super helpful, and even came back on his own accord the final day to call us a bigger taxi and carry bags.

Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place in Barcelona!
