We truly enjoyed our airbnb experience in Barcelona. Our hostess, Eli met us at the apartment. She had given us a few supplies including espresso cartridges & champagne. Eli told us about her city & made sightseeing suggestions based on our desired itinerary. The apartment was exactly as pictured. It was clean, modern & decorated to our taste. The appliances were new & worked well. The building was very secure with double deadbolts as well as a secure building entrance. The WIFI was fast & easy to sign on to. The neighborhood was relatively quiet & felt safe. We ate at some of the local neighborhood restaurants & were impressed with the service, food & friendly nature of the staff. The experience I had with this apartment is why I chose to book with airbnb. Friendly, knowledgeable local hosts with a clean well appointed property in an excellent location. I would highly recommend this apartment to my friends & would book it again myself.
