This was our first time using a flat rental through airbnb. We have to say we did not know what to expect, but we were plesantly surprised upon arriving to our flat! The pictures were exactly what the apartment looked like in real life and everthing was clean and ready for our arrival. The location was perfect, within walking distance to Las Ramblas, The Beach and El Barrio Gotico. Our host, Mario, was beyond accomodating and made our stay comfortable, relaxed and very enjoyable. I even left behind a gold necklace as we were rushing to catch the train to Madrid and Mario shipped it to my hotel in Madrid the very next day!
When we return to Barcelona we will absolutley stay in this flat again or in another one that Mario may have available. It was just perfect and we had a very memorable vacation.
