Damien’s apartment was a great home base to explore Barcelona. Eixample is very central and it’s easy to get to the sites, restaurants and entertainment the city has to offer. We had a slight hiccup where we lost power two days in a row, but Maria was incredibly responsive and actually upgraded us to a larger apartment for the rest of our stay. We also got some local tips on restaurants and where to see a flamenco show. The only negative I would say is that the whole building is essentially an Airbnb hotel, so you lose a bit of the local charm you normally expect from an Airbnb. In hindsight, Damien is fairly up front that he manages a 25 unit place so this shouldn’t have surprised us.
