Thank you Al and Uri for hosting us.
I feel that the reviews in regards to location of this Airbnb are very misleading. Yes, it is very close to La Rambla and el Gotico; however, we very quickly realized that we were staying in a very unsafe neighborhood. I did not feel safe at all walking down the street or the side streets, nor did my boyfriend. What was really eye opening was on our last night, our taxi driver asked us with much concern if we were staying on this street, and told us it is one of the most dangerous in Barcelona and warned us to be careful when going out, especially at night.
Our door locked, however our terrace door which was on a shared terrace, did not lock.... AC was also advertised, so we were disappointed to find only a ceiling and desk fan in the room.
On a positive note: Al was very responsive to our needs (particularly parking, which the garage across the street was closed when we arrived), and Uri was kind and helpful. There was another room rented out to other guests. We did not run into them or Uri very much during our stay. The space itself was fine, but the open terrace and questionable neighborhood left us feeling extremely unsettled.
