Our stay in Bente's apartment was absolutely perfect. My husband and I were on a short European tour, and stayed at several Airbnbs in several countries. Bente's place was by far the best! First of all, the communication with Bente and his check-in assistant, Nico, was outstanding. Nico met us outside and even helped carry our luggage (who does that?!). We got a brief and thorough tour of the apartment and felt very welcomed. The location is perfect, to the North you have Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell, and to the South you have the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona Chapel, and the beach! We specifically chose to stay away from Las Ramblas and it's noisy nightlife, and I'm so glad we did. This apartment is extremely clean, and sits above a laundry cafe, so you get occasional breezes of clean laundry smell... amazing, right? The back patio area was great for relaxing after a busy day. When the windows are shut, you cannot hear any street noise whatsoever. The amenities are great and included washer, dryer, hairdryer, A/C units, very comfortable bed, and good water pressure. If you're looking to stay in Barcelona, you won't find a better Host than Bente!
