Bente was great, super responsive, and helpful. The local agent who handed us the key was friendly and efficient and pointed out many useful items (including how to make sure the water heater was on [see earlier reviews]). The apartment is charming, as described, and well equipped. It’s a very nice space.
There’s a small market right around the corner and larger ones a few blocks away . It’s a short walk to Passeig de Gracia, Passeig de Joan and good food destinations in Exiample are close enough for walking. That said, it's good to take metro or taxi to other locations. That said, for four of us, it was cheaper to taxi than metro the 10 minutes to the old town. For those who might care, we had to go to the doctor and there’s a wonderful clinic in the neighborhood,
Overall, a very nice first experience with Airbnb and we would happily stay again here.
