We were beyond thrilled with the quality of Vivian's flat. After a disappointing experience the first leg of our European trip in Paris, Vivian's flat renewed our faith in Airbnb! The flat appears to be maintained by a professional company so it is free of the clutter of personal items that is sometimes common with Airbnb rentals. Vivian was not able to meet us, but her colleague Marti met us outside of the flat and took the time to review everything with us. He even pointed out where the flat was located on a map and gave us a handful of restaurant recommendations. The flat is clean, modern and well stocked (t.p., towels, coffee pods, etc.).
Pros
*Good communication
*First floor (about 6-7 steps to climb, but manageable)
*Full kitchen with washing machine
*Fully stocked
*Large deck (not much a view, but nice)
*Awesome shower
*Clean
*Supermarket next door
Cons
*Some noise - nothing major but the apartment is right off of the first floor elevator. Also there is some noise from the upstairs neighbors. Nothing that kept us awake at night, but you should be aware.
*Neighborhood - this is a quieter neighborhood near La Sagrada Familia. We felt very safe but there's not the same energy and nightlife as other parts of the city.
Overall we are extremely satisfied with our experience and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
