This was our first trip to Barcelona and our first booking with Airbnb in Europe. It went very smoothly. Although we were not able to meet Rosa, she did leave a lovely bottle of wine for our arrival and had a lovely friend let us into the loft and show us around. All was pretty much as described, clean and well equipped. We loved the Poble Sec neighbourhood. Really felt as if we had been imbedded in a Spanish community, parents pushing strollers, kids running about and lots of folks walking their dogs. Great area for tapas ! Rosa was very prompt in answering emails and a phone call to her. Rosa's loft is very convenient to the Metro, and while close to the beach and museums, it was also great to be away from the city center.
