This was our first Airbnb- so please take that into account. We hoped for the best- and we were so pleased that everything worked out well.

Eike was tremendously professional and responsive. He communicated well and prepared us for our stay. During the stay we had a minor mishap (That we eventually fixed) but Eike responded immediately to our e-mails and offered to send someone to help. The apartment itself was really well located. It was central to everything. Some may not prefer to be in the midst of the hustle and bustle on Paseig De Gracia- but it was perfect for us. Also- because it was on a well known street- it was easy to get in a cab and say "Paseig de Gracias Cuarenta y dos" and we'd be brought right there with no trouble at all.

Check in was a breeze. They were flexible and swift to respond to us.

If you are travelling to Spain with friends and kids- this is the way to go. We had the best internet I've experienced in Europe- and it was consistent. We had a washer and a dryer and a refrigerator for our water. We even had Nespresso provided for us for when we couldn't roust the kids out of bed fast enough. The AC worked great.

The master bedroom and the living and dining rooms all have amazing views of Paseig De Gracia and some of the most famous modernist architecture in the world- right across the street from Gaudi's Casa Batllo.

There was some minor damage to the floor in the master bedroom- but it didn't impact our enjoyment of the apartment in the least.

Check out was also no problem- although be aware that 11am actually meant 11am. The cleaning ladies were lovely though...

For our first Airbnb- it's a winner and I will use the service again for sure. I highly recommend the apartment and Eike.
