Our stay was truly perfect - communication with Alex by text messages were answered promptly, we were met by Pilar outside and she guided us into the parking building- narrow and winding but no problem with careful driving. The apartment is just as described on the site - very comfortable, everything worked, speedy WiFi. Tonka,the cafe/restaurant across the street was excellent. Several supermarkets very handy, two Metro stops only a couple of minutes walk away. The location is central - an easy walk to Las Ramblas for the dedicated tourists! The area is quiet - except on Saturday night when the soccer fans were enjoying the match on TV outside the cafe downstairs - but they didn't stay late and ear plugs worked a treat! We can honestly recommend this as a great place to stay. It was our first Airbnb experience and it certainly has set the standard. Thank you heaps to Pilar, Alex and Javi.
