Our stay in Barcelona was an incredible experience. We fell in love with the city. The apartment is very bright and well located, comfortable and roomy. The hosts were available by email and telephone. We spent more ($400 Canadian per night) on our stay in Barcelona as it was a last minute decision and availability in apartment rentals was low. However, for the high price and quality of this rental we were disappointed. Wifi was weak, mattresses and pillows were very basic, renovations in the apartment next door was very LOUD and continuous each day, throughout our stay. When we mentioned this to the hosts they claimed they were not aware of this issue!!
This rental also lacked a personal touch. previous rentals in our experience offered guide books, maps, restaurant suggestions and often a welcome bottle of wine.
So, all in all, we would recommend this AIr BnB however at a much lower rate.
