Eduard is a very accommodating and the most responsive host I've ever had on airbnb. The check-in process was very smooth and he was very flexible with the time. The location is hard to beat. It's two blocks to Plaza Cataluña and the main rambla and it sits right on top of a metro station (Urquinaona). Also 2 blocks to the Palau de la Musica and to Carrefour. High ceilings, the kitchen has all the basics, the bathroom is very good and the bed is comfortable. It's great to be able to open the windows onto the balconies and sleep with fresh air. And there are good cafes and restaurants within a few feet of the door, including several good roasteries like Syra for coffee freaks like myself. The neighbors upstairs were noisy, stomping around at all hours, and I was surprised at how much of that I could hear, even in this old building with such high ceilings, but it was not a deal-breaker. Not everything was perfect but whatever wasn't got fixed within a couple of hours and with a splendid attitude. I recommend it highly.
