Just home from a wonderful relaxed time in Barcelona. This was our first experience of AirBNB and we were initially a bit concerned when we arrived at the apartment about 9.45pm to be met by Mickey from "YouStylish" who immediately apologised that she had discovered the apartment had not been cleaned and prepared for us-- something that had never happened before. Fortunately after some phone calls, however, we were assured that things would be sorted out promptly and so we left our bags and went off to sample some local cuisine. On our return before midnight we found the apartment spotlessly clean and a bottle of Rioja waiting for us which was thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed.
Nacho's apartment is lovely -- compact and minimalist, very functional and comfortable. Good powerful shower and comfortable bed. The apartment is a bit away from the touristy areas of Barcelona but that suited us well, having previously visited Barcelona a few times. We got to love the neighbourhood which on first impression seemed very quiet, but then we found that at various times of the day, different shutters would be raised, revealing previously unknown bakeries, delicatessens, mini-markets, restaurants and bars of high quality.
The nearest Metro Station-- El Putxet was a mere 5 minutes walk from the apartment and about 10minutes journey from Placa Catalunya in the centre of town. We like to walk and managed the Nou Camp, Sagrada Familia and Park Guell by foot from the apartment - but cheated and took the Metro on on the way as largely up hill!
We were delighted with our stay in Carrer del Camp and would recommend the apartment although we would have to say it was surprisingly noisy at times which some people might find off putting.
