Maria was an excellent host answering all our questions in advance of arrival. We were greeted by Maria's brother and got a thorough tour of the apartment, including how to work all the different pieces of equipment, there is an ice machine unit! He was very friendly and helpful especially introducing us to local transport routes.
The apartment had a great view from the balcony overlooking the city with Tibidabo in the distance. Inside it had everything we needed, you can tell it is their home with various artifacts from different countries around the world.
The location was exceptional for catching the Metro or Bus. You will find a fantastic wine shop next door which is defiantly worth a visit. One of the highlights of our Barcelona experience was La Sagrada Familia getting a ticket up the elevator is a must (Gaudi created the space for a futuristic elevator that we now have the technology for!)
This was my first experience of Airbnb and it won't be my last!
Many thanks Maria!
