It seems like most apartments that are on Airbnb in Barcelona are corporate owned and not by an individual. I prefer to stay in privately owned Airbnbs. Having said that we were very happy with the apartment. Communication was very easy. Someone was always there to respond to whats apps immediately and all questions were answered. Check-in was good. We met the person at the apartment and were handed the keys. Only negative was that our flight was delayed and we arrived after 8pm for which there is a late arrival charge. I just dont think such a practice belongs in the hospitality industry. I did see that other apartments had a similar policy. We loved the area where we stayed. Very local, few tourists. There were a lot of bars, restaurants, cafes and super markets. It does get lively on the weekends, but you dont here any noise on the 4th floor. The balcony has nice view on the Sagrada Familia. It wont be the money shot of your trip, but it is in plain sight. The interior is just like in the pictures. Very cute and comfortable apartment. We loved the elevator as well as the staircase of the building too. It is an older building that has been very well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped. Except for glasses. There was only one wine glass in the cupboards. We did cook a couple of meals while we were there and found all the utensils we needed. The price is not cheap, but if you go with a party of 4 I think it is ok. I would consider staying there again.
