Where to start....Enric and Packo's apartment is above and beyond even what they proclaim.
Super hosts indeed!
It was utterly spotless. New, fresh, clean, organized and impeccably decorated.
Wifi was strong and fast.
The extras were not expected but really put our stay over the top. Coffee, drinks and a light snack welcomed us.
We were given a cell phone to use that was loaded with apps, information, taxi referrals and maps of Barcelona.
There is a mounted touchscreen computer also loaded with Metro maps, restaurant recommendations, cultural activities and the like. What an unbelievable extra this was! It was so helpful to have all of this at our fingertips.
For those who don't prefer computers, there were also guide books available.
We also used there taxi recommendations. David picked us up and dropped us off at the airport seamlessly. It was very nice after a long flight to have someone waiting with a sign, with your name on it, who deposited you right at the apartment where Packo was waiting to greet us.
Check in and check out were pleasant, quick, helpful and informative.
The neighborhood is great with a market underneath the library directly across the street. There are also grocery stores, coffee shops and patisseries within a few minutes walk. You can easily locate them on the cell phone they loan to you.
The beautiful Sagrada Familia is just down the street and also able to be seen from the rooftop terrace. We used the terrace every afternoon to have lunch and enjoy the sun.
From the apartment we walked to Park Güell, Palau De La Musica, La Pedrera, Hospital de Sant Pau and Sagrada Familia which is just a block away.
The Sagrada Familia Metro station is also just a block or so away.
We could not have enjoyed our stay at Packo & Enric's apartment any more than we did.
We have traveled all over the world staying in Airbnb's and this is hands down the best one we have experienced.
