I booked Rosa’s place in Barcelona for a three day break to explore this beautiful city with my mother and meet a dear friend who I hadn’t seen for long time. I based my choice on the photos, price, pretty central location and most importantly the many positive reviews Rosa has.
The flat
The flat itself is on the first floor inside a typical building of Barcelona, according to Rosa. It’s kind of open plan, with a divisor wall btw the kitchen living room and the bedroom, just like in the pictures. It’s simple, reasonably spacious and welcoming. It has got pretty much everything one might need for a short city break staying from my opinion. It's got a decent, comfortable bed, clean linen and fresh towels, plus a hair dryer, small kettle and coffee machine too and also some basics (salt, pepper, washing liquid etc. which are always a plus!
It is situated 5 minutes from the station parallel metro. The area is definitely buzzing all the time with heaps of bars and restaurants available. Great vibe indeed. It has also got a few good quality supermarkets nearby which are always super handy.
The host
We met Rosa just at the check in. A lovely, vibrant and “muy allegra” lady. Despite my rusty Spanish, her good English allowed the communication to run smoothly.
My experience
Overall we felt welcomed at Rosa’s airbnb. It served well the purpose of our trip. Surely a safe and sound choice in Barcelona.
If I had to pick anything, just like others have said in previous reviews, some of the noises, can be heard past midnight. However not much that Rosa can do about it, and we found that some of the kitchen bits, utensils and drawers could have been checked better in terms of cleanliness. This however I believe can easily be rectified. Having said that do not let this stop you from booking this great space in Barcelona.
Thank you Rosa for opening the doors of your home to us!
