This was our first time using Airbnb and Julia's very quick and helpful communication filled us with confidence. The apartment is well equipped, clean and secure. Wi-Fi is good. The location is excellent, very central. The metro is diagonally across the street, there is a large supermarket opposite and lots of places to eat, especially for breakfast. It's a busy city with excellent public transport, so of course there is noise associated with this and you should expect that. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine watching Barcelona life go by after a busy day’s sightseeing. We especially loved the period features in the building - the lift, the stairwells and of course the beautiful ceiling in the bedroom. We would not hesitate to return to this apartment, Julia is a lovely host and will make you feel welcome.
