THE HOST
The communication with Jose was extremely effective from the very beginning till the end. He kindly replied (perfect english!) in few minutes to any of my questions during the booking process and also during our stay. Although he was not present in the flat when we arrived (Amelia was), he answered all my questions via mobile phone and gave me several useful advices.

THE LOCATION
The location is the best you can imagine for people who are tired of busy Rambla neighbourhood, but still want to be in touch with the vivid city life. The metro stop Barceloneta is right in front of the house (including the lift access), but you can easily walk everywhere to explore the center or the beaches. There are many supermarkets with anything you might need, lovely bakery and charming fruit and vegetable shop (3 minutes far from the house). Dozens of restaurants and cafés within 5 mins. Although the house is on a busy street, it is perfectly quiet as the windows are facing a different side.

THE FLAT
The flat looks exactly as it is shown in the pictures. It is spotlessly clean, very new, with fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, kettle, microwave, oven, toaster, blender, large clean fridge and freezer). You can find there a washing machine and dryer, iron and the ironing board, hair dryer,…
The bedroom is small, but large enough to fit in even the baby cot which we needed as well. It has a king size bed, which is extremely comfortable with high quality bedclothes. There is a big empty wardrobe for your need.
The bathroom is lovely, clean with large bathtub. Towels and soap for your need.
The whole house is new, large, clean with a 24hour security service. Two elevators help you to get all your stuff to the 3rd floor.

OVERALL
This was my first experience with airbnb.com. The stay in Jose’s flat exceeded my expectations on different levels. We (my boyfriend, our 1,5year old son and I) found the flat very comfortable and home-like and consider Jose as a host with an above average attitude. Jose provided us with a baby cot, high chair and even several toys for our son, which I find as an extraordinary help. A bottle of Jose’s wine was waiting for us in the kitchen - what a lovely welcome greeting! ☺ I would be very happy to come back one day! …soon!
