This Airbnb was fantastic. It’s located in a great neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, markets, and pharmacies within walking distance, and housed in a very cool building with a good looking lobby and a helpful and funky 100 year-old elevator. The flat was ample, with three bedrooms and more than enough space for our needs, and decorated in a modern yet warm style with lots of art hung throughout.
The kitchen was modern and we were supplied with everything we needed to take care of our cooking needs. There was a Nespresso machine and pods, which was an especially welcome surprise.
There was a tv in the living room area and it was nice to be able to watch not only local Catalunyan and Spanish tv but also Netflix and YouTube.
The heater worked fantastically which was very nice as it did get really cold during our stay.
Our host Toni gets the award for warmth though. Toni was a cheerful, warm, interesting and nice guy who really was the perfect first Barcelonian to welcome us to the city. Toni gave us lots of tips and advice that definitely came in handy.
In summary, we would 100% recommend this AirBNB to anybody looking for a clean, modern, well-furnished and well-supplied flat in a more quiet, more local Barcelona neighborhood that is still within walking distance of all the hubbub of the city (though you can get a taxi easy enough). You can’t go wrong here!
