Communication: Sofia was cogent, thoughtful, and quick. My wife and I travelled to Barcelona at the last possible minute (long story short, our initial travel plans to a different city was scrapped from an air controller strike) and didn’t know what to expect from the trip. She helped us get situated, gave fantastic recommendations for things we can do during our short stay, and even assisted us securing a taxi for flight departure set for an ungodly hour.
Location: the apartment is ~400m (approx. 25 miles) from Sagrada Familia, the most visited site in all of Barcelona. The area where the apartment sits has everything a visitor needs to live like a local: great restaurants, supermarkets, and a taxi stop nearby. yes, there is a hospital close to the property but we didn’t hear any sirens throughout our stay. If you are looking for party atmosphere though, this may not be your place.
Property: clean, modern and well-maintained. Large amount of closet space available for those who travel not-so-light.
Overall, I recommend the Airbnb and the host.
