We are new to airbnb and decided to use them on our holidays to Europe for the first time. We could not have chosen a better host. We wanted to use airbnb specifically to mix with locals and learn about the culture of the country we travel to. As a host José has met our expectations, he was very accommodating, helpful and resourceful. He even referred us to the local bus station and we ended up taking a day trip outside Spain, to Andorra.
His apartment is right in the middle of Barcelona... Within walking distance to all main attractions. The ones that was a bit further away, the metro subway was a few meters away. We even walked a few blocks to the Mediterranean sea and Port. The neighborhood is very safe and we walked late at night without problems.
Our room was very clean and had a little cozy balcony overlooking beautiful Barcelona while having supper and breakfast. José supplied the basics, shampoo, shower gel, towels to us. The kitchen had all cooking utensils and we were able to cook nice meals while we were there. There are two bathrooms available to guest and this was very useful.
Interaction with José was great he shared so much information about Barcelona and Spain and we shared stories of our travels. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend his place.
