First off, we would have loved to stay longer! Barcelona is a fun city and a week wasn't long enough. Mik's place was the perfect base for us to explore the city. It was about 10 minutes to the beach (on foot) and only a few minutes from metro, tram, and bus. You could get to the city center within 20-30 minutes or so. The Airbnb in located in a quieter area but there are several cafes, restaurants, and groceries within walking. Mik was a great host, he puts a lot of effort into making sure his guests have a good experience. He was there to check us into the apartment, walk us through everything, and gave us a lot of really great recommendations. He was always available and responsive if we had any questions throughout our stay. It was another level of hospitality and friendliness that you don't always get to experience through Airbnb these days. The apartment itself was clean, spacious, and more than comfortable for the two of us. Kitchen was well equipped as well, we made a majority of our meals at home. We would most definitely stay here again!
