I was in Barcelona with my son and one of his college friends on their spring break to visit my daughter who is doing a semester abroad this spring. This was my first experience with Airbnb and I have to say Alex and Dany's place was a solid choice. It was in an excellent location. It is a block away from the beach with a supermarket across the street. I am a runner and a swimmer so this was perfect for me because the best and easiest way to run in Barcelona is along the beach. There was a nice fitness center on the next block with a salt water pool where I swam a couple times. There are plenty of restaurants along the boardwalk the other sections of Barcelona are within a reasonable walking distance, i.e. I could walk to the Arc de Triomf in 15 minutes and the El Borne section is right next to that. If you don't like walking there is plenty of public transportation and also an excellent taxi system. There is no need to rent a car in Barcelona.
Alex and Dany's place was large with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a nice size living room and kitchen and suited us just nicely. It has all the amenities you need plus a washer and dryer to cut down on the suit case size for long stays. Overall I was pleased with my stay there.
