This was my first experience with Airbnb. I went into it with high expectations but with some apprehension. I am pleased to say that the host, Rosa, has set the bar very high for the next host I come in contact with. She was very responsive to all inquiries from the first contact to the last. We made arrangements with Rosa to pick us up at the airport. She was there waiting as we made it through customs. She greeted us as if we were lifelong friends and set the tone for a great week in Barcelona. After a short trip to the loft, Rosa introduced us to the loft and made sure we were comfortable with with our surroundings before leaving us to our vacation. Rosa also made us feel as if we had a local contact if we needed anything while we were in town. She is a true asset to the Airbnb business model.

As for the BacRou Loft, it met or exceeded all of my families expectations and needs. It accommodated my family of 3 with room to spare. The location is great for those looking for more of a local experience away from the tourist hot spots. The loft is only a few blocks from the metro in one direction and the beach in the other. There is a mercado a few blocks to the north for those looking for the option of eating in. The kitchen is furnished with the basics needed to prepare a meal. The photos are accurate as the interior is wonderfully updated in a mix of traditional architecture and contemporary design.

I would recommend without hesitation, both Rosa as a host and the BacRou loft to anyone.
