First time we used AirBnB..It worked excellent, and we were very glad we reserved Juan’s room in Barcelona. Arrived from Prague to a VERY warm welcome from smiling Juan who then showed us the room, apt, dos/donts, etc….very straightforward. We were famished, so right away he ordered us a great meal (tapas, paella, sangria) at a family-run place that was so good for it’s spirit and local flavor that we went back 3 evening thereafter. Juan explained and patiently marked out all key locations on a map. His flat is bright and spacious. The room – which we really did not spend much time in -- is fine and the bed more than adequate for a great night’s rest. The small room can get a bit warm on hot summer days, but Juan switched on the central A/C to cool us down after all that rambling around the city and beaches (really close walk). The kitchen is fully equipped, and Juan kept a space for us to keep breakfast supplies and water in the fridge. Key to us was that everything was super-clean, including the bathroom/shower. We had to log into work on occasion…WiFi was fast. Juan was a great host and we had some free-minded conversations in the evenings…though we missed him the last couple evenings when he had to head out on some urgent work. That was more than made up by his friendly roommate (and also excellent concierge) Daniela …We wish you ALL the very best, great meeting you too! Gracias Juan. We will be back…maybe when Sagrada Familia is “finished”?
