Amazing AirBnB, one of the best I have stayed in. The location is amazing, on a big street which has amazing restaurants including a very nice Tapas place outside the apartment called Mimi, dessert places (Demasie and other waffle and crepe shops) as well as a Starbucks. The apartment was very close to the Gothic Cathedral and the Picasso Museum (5-7 minute walk), as well as Las Ramblas and the beaches (walking distance). Some popular places (El Xampanyet for Tapas, Bar Paradiso which was incredible and Xurros shops) were all walking distance (5-10 minutes walk from the apartment). Initially it took time to find the apartment as there are some side streets coming off the main street, but when we messaged the host (Mar), she was very responsive and directed us to the apartment.
The apartment itself was spacious, with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, enough for a large family or two. One of the bedrooms had a mini-balcony overlooking the main street which was really nice to soak in the atmosphere and buzz, especially in the evenings. It was very clean and tidy and looked nice and modern. All of the essentials which one would expect were provided: shampoo, soap, towels, mugs, cups and glasses, cutlery. There was also a lift to take if one needed to use one.
Communication with Mar (Bellart) was very easy. She was responsive before and during the stay, and made our stay smooth.
