We got the sense that Alexandre and his wife genuinely cared about our having a good time in Barcelona. Their restaurant suggestions were great, and check-in was smooth. The house is spacious and updated (Ikea style) and covers all the basics for a family on the move. But the check-out was more extensive than usual (take all sheets and pillowcases off beds and gather all bathmats and towels for laundry, carry all garbage bags and recyclables outside to the bins down the street - in addition to the 96 Euros cleaning fee). The host sent these instructions at midnight the day we were leaving, which made our 8:30 am departure to the airport feel very rushed. The hosts did apologize for the late notice on check-out instructions, but they could have added something like, "If you don't have time to strip the beds because of the late notice, we will understand."
