A unique Airbnb experience. Incredible, mansion-like house set on the way up to Park Guell, with excellent views of the city from the roof terrace. Lovely terraced garden in the front. Great location for Gracia, Lesseps Metro etc. Easy, therefore, to get to Las Ramblas and all the usual tourist centres if you're into that sort of thing. Perfect for a walk around Park Guell.
Owned by Yata and managed by Dulce.
Yata was the height of politeness and hospitality. On arrival (at around 10pm), he insisted that Dulce and I take a beer and share it on the roof terrace, as if he would count it an abrogation of his duty were I not to be properly welcomed into his house. On three occasions he brought me a slice of fresh melon, the size of my head, without it having been requested and absolutely insisted that i do no washing up afterwards. Not only that, he washed my clothes, free of charge - even providing hangers! Show me another Airbnb owner who will do that for you!
Dulce, also, was extremely hospitable and great conversation. She managed communication during my stay and was very accommodating of my movements. I was even offered a refund because I ended up leaving early (solely because I was using the stay to find permanent accommodation in Barcelona); I refused because honestly I thought the whole situation was so lovely.
