We had such a nice time in this lovely apartment, we wished we had stayed for longer to enjoy it! We arrived from the train station and Rosa met us near the Metro stop to show us the way. Rosa is the most enthusiastic and friendly host you could ever hope to have. Her excitement and enjoyment of meeting new people is obvious.

She showed us the way to the apartment, which was a very short walk. It is down a road just off Av. Paral-lel (perfect for Montjuic area, Ciutat Vella and travelling anywhere else by Metro from Parallel stop nearby). The apartment is first floor and has a small balcony off the bedroom where you can sit and watch the comings and goings along this lively street. Rosa was joyfully thorough in telling us where things where and giving us tips on how to get places. She was even upset that she couldn't return on our last day to see us off.

The apartment is lovely - spacious, bright and clean. It's recently renovated and has been set up ideally for Airbnb visitors. It's basically two big rooms and then a bathroom. This is off the kitchen by the front door. The bathroom is clean and the shower is great. The kitchen area is compact but has more than enough for light holiday use. There is a sofa-futon and an extendable table and chairs.

Around the corner is the bedroom, which is as spacious and airy as the photos would suggest. Nice big windows, door onto balcony and wardrobe. There is plenty of air conditioning and fans to keep things cool and we were provided with plenty of clean towels and sheets.

Everything about this apartment, from location and host to space and supplies is perfect and exactly what most Airbnb visitors would hope to get. We'd love to stay here again if we visit Barcelona again soon and we'll recommend it to friends too.
