My boyfriend and I rented the rooftop apartment for three nights, and arrived in Barcelona at 930AM on a Friday morning.

Anna Maria and her husband and very kind and very courteous people. They were busy that morning readying the apartment following another party's check-out, but they were considerate of our situation and allowed us to leave our bags in the apartment, and spent time acquainting us with the building location and common routes to/from popular sites in Barcelona. They were ready with a city map and provided a stack of city guide books and other material. They also provided fruit and coffee for our enjoyment which was appreciated.

The apartment itself is fantastic, particularly the rooftop patio with retractible awning where we enjoyed a glass of wine at the end of each afternoon.

The only hesitation we have in giving our experience the highest rating was an issue with housekeeping. While time was clearly spent preparing the rooms between stays, there were some basic issues that were not addressed, and because we were charged an addiitonal fee for housekeeping, we felt the level of cleanliness should meet the standard we hold for our own home or a commercial hotel. We encountered hair and dust in more than a few places, which was disappointing.

We also paid for pickup from BCN, and had some anxious moments in the terminal when the contact was 20min late and we were forced to inquire through the airbnb site, but it ended up working out.
