Normally I prefer to rent my own space on Airbnb but Francisco's reviews were all so good and the photos of his place were so intriguing and unique that I had to take the chance. And wow am I glad I did! From the moment of booking many months prior, Francisco responded quickly and kindly each time, in a truly personable way. In fact, through our banter back and forth over the months, I got to know him a little better so by the time I got there, I was comfortable with sharing an apartment (and bathroom) with someone (especially him being male, and I being female). I rarely saw him and felt most of the time that it was my own space. About the apartment - EXTREMELY well located, super unique, a real local/artistic kind of feel to it. My own space was HUGE! I had two large rooms with a super comfortable huge bed, and the bathroom was clean and spacious (great shower pressure!). The kitchen had everything you need, including a washing machine! There are about 52-53 steep stairs to get to this magical Airbnb but I felt that it was completely worth it.
About Francisco, my host - extremely kind, generous, and hospitable. Flexible, respectful, and super helpful. Francisco is simply a wonderful human. I can't say enough good things about him or his place. I feel blessed and fortunate to have chosen to stay with Francisco. He made my Barcelona trip a 6 star experience!!! Gracias Francisco! Te aprecio! Hasta la proxima vez!
