This was my first experience of using Air bnb and I'm sn utter convert. I stayed at John and Vanessa's Poblenou apartment with my husband and two boys aged 10 and 14, for 7 nights in August. Our stay was managed by Jepis from booking to arrival. He was fantastic. Jepis answered all my emails promptly and was even waiting outside the apartment to greet us. The apartment was just was the photos depicted. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. A real home from home. The pool and gardens were beautiful, clean, safe, well managed and open until midnight. My boys loved night time swimming! a real bonus after spending the days in Barcelona. Poblenou as an area to stay was perfect for us, bustling with families in the evening and not not too crowded. It had everything we needed, great supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and bakery on the corner. 20 mins walk from the beach. Trams and Metro within 5 - 10 mins walk. Both very easy to navigate. For us it was an Ideal location for our family holiday.
