I definitely recommend staying at Linus’s place when you visit Barcelona. We stayed for 7 nights and were very comfortable in the apartment. The beds were nice, the AC worked well and the kitchen was very functional. We even received an 8 liter bottle of water from the host when we arrived. A very nice touch! We also enjoyed the washer and dryer. The apartment location is great. It’s close to two subway stations and many great local restaurants and bars. Check in was easy and we were given a good tour of the place as well as shown on a map how to get to the metro stations and the main attractions. Linus was very responsive and helpful with my questions about the La Mercè festival. Check out was also very easy.
