I was urgently looking for a new place to stay for 1 night as I was staying in a hotel room, I only gave him less than 24 hours notice and requested an earlier check in. Diego was very accommodating and quick in responses. (I only started messaging him around 9pm and was requesting to check in by 1pm the following day. it all was so quick I was able to book, and have all necessary instructions within the hour.)
I arrived around 12:30 and was waiting at the restaurant next door to find out he was already in the apartment waiting to greet us.
Diego’s place is exactly as described, and is even better than what you would expect from the pictures and description. Barcelona is very touristy but Diego’s place is in a more discreet area in comparison, so it offers you a peace of mind away from the craziness.
There were so many wonderful and personal touches that made our stay fantastic. He gives many food recommendations and his flat has a lot to offer. He really tried to make us feel at home. The flat was very clean and well lit. My boyfriend and I either walked everywhere or took the train and it’s easy to navigate from the flat(just a straight line down a few blocks).
He is a great host and his flat is probably one of the top Airbnb flats I’ve stayed in, (and I travel frequently domestically & internationally) I highly recommend anyone to stay here if they’re looking to visit Barcelona. I only wish I had found his place sooner so I could stay longer and try his other recommendations!
Thanks for the great memory Diego!
