In June we decided to spend Christmas in Barcelona. We were with a big group of 8 adults in total. We found Maria's apartment on Airbnb and it turned out to be perfect. The apartment is big, clean (very important), very well renovated and nicely decorated. The beds are good and the kitchen has all that it needs to prepare meals for a large group. Maria is a lovely lady and welcomed us at the agreed time. She showed us around in the apartment, shared a few tips to spend our time in Barcelona and gave us even 2 mobile phones which we could use. We didn't use them, but I never experienced this before. Excellent service! Needless to say that our little Christmas holiday in Barcelona was a great success thanks to a perfect 'home' base.
ps. I had read some comments about noise in the 2 bedrooms at the front. Maria added extra (double) balcony doors to damp the noise. It worked perfectly and we slept like a baby.
