We were so relieved upon checking into Maria's airbnb. It was a haven, away from the craziness of Las Ramblas and other really busy parts of Barcelona, and yet just a quick 10 minute walk if you want in on all the action. Located on a safe street, just a few blocks away from Parc Ciutadella and a few blocks from Arc de Triomf. I feel like we got really lucky when we booked this. Maria and her husband were there to help us with our luggage when we checked in. They explained everything about the very well-equipped house, as well as our location. We had a dishwasher and a washing machine to use, we had a really comfortable living area, and the bedroom was a quiet, dark delight. I got really good sleep here.
We were right by El Born, and right by everything else. I highly recommend this airbnb. The hosts were so sweet and so helpful.
