Barcelona is the greatest! and so was this Airbnb experience. The apartment is exactly as pictured. We loved it in the photos, and we loved it once there. Really special! We were four people and felt it had ample space. It had a good layout too. The outdoor area made it seem even larger. Plants were in the kitchen, bathroom, and outside, surrounding the patio - they made it very warm, and homey. I love Silvia's taste and how everything is presented...

Normally we like the windows open at night, but we shut the front (next to street) window because of some street noise – and, because there was a fan, it was no problem (in fact, each of the three rooms had a fan). The neighborhood is vibrant with shops of all types close by. We would have liked to stay even longer than the six days we did! Too much to see and do.

We didn't cook dinners (too many great places to try, and so close), so I won't comment on the kitchen in detail, but it seemed as if everything you'd need would be there. Suggestion if you come: at the very least, if you are looking for pizza, DO NOT MISS Circus Pizza, Carrer de Terol, 8 -- the BEST anywhere - and very close.

Silvia was super responsive. She arranged a taxi for us when we arrived - great for three exhausted people. My other daughter joined us later and had no problems taking the train from the airport. Silvia had left us some snacks and drinks - very thoughtful and very welcome! Later in our stay there happened to be a street protest - not a common occurrence, but I bring it up because Silvia checked on us a few times to make sure we were all fine - she's just that way!

I felt really good about her and think she's a very caring and thoughtful host. We would come back in a heartbeat!
