As a family of four, we enjoyed a fantastic four night break staying in Jose's apartment. Before the visit Jose answered all my questions promptly and when we arrived, he and his daughter were very welcoming, answering all our questions, telling us a little about the history of the place and giving us a bottle of fizz.

The reason we chose this from the seemly hundreds on offer in central Barcelona, was the stunning view of the Sagrada Familia which you get from the balconies along the front of the building and it certainly didn't disappoint.

In addition to the view, the apartment has bags of character with high ceilings and period features. Whilst I wouldn't describe the apartment as lavishly equipped, it had everything we needed for the break. The apartment is serviced by a lift which is useful but note it is tiny and I don't think it would accommodate for example a push chair.

It is worth remembering that because the apartment is in such a central location, it is on quite a busy road and the (fabulous) period windows do not block out all the noise at night. I stress this was not a problem for us, but may be for those who are sensitive to these things.

This was our first AirBnB experience and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice - Definite recommendation.
