From all the Airbnb hosts I’ve met (or haven’t met because of key boxes), Ricard was the kindest one. Not only was he available whenever we had a question, before or during the stay, he also anticipated all our needs.
The neighborhood is great, you can walk to the city centre in 15’, or take the subway/bus or even take a taxi for 4-5€. Very close by are a supermarket, some restaurants, and a cute food market. Despite all that, the street is quiet.
The apartment is exactly like on the pictures, the little patio is very cute. The rooms are very spacious and the pillows are super-extra-comfy. There is everything you need and usually don’t find in an Airbnb (ie. there’s more than 2 plates and 2 glasses, different pans, extra towels, enough hand soap, an actual ironing board, etc).
If you are looking for a great place to stay in Barcelona and you are reading this, why are you still reading? You should be booking before you miss the opportunity.
