Contact with Thomas was very easy and helpful in regards to renting his flat. When we arrived to Barcelona we were hours from our check in time, but were allowed to leave our luggage in the flat. THANKYOU! We met with Thomas' friend Meritxell, she was a delight. She showed us the apartment and answered any questions that we had. We truly felt welcomed!
The stairs were the hardest part about the flat, they are no joke, five flights of winding stairs. Bringing our luggage up and down the steps was very challenging, I recommend to bring smaller bags of you can. With a little
bit of encouragement from my friend and I we used the steps multiple times a day. It's absolutely worth the climb because the flat is so lovely. The master bedroom bed is super comfy and the shower is nice and hot! Sadly it rained and was a bit cold for the roof top to be used everyday but we did try and sit out every chance we got.
El Born is such an amazing area of Barcelona, tons of restaurants, cafes and bars, easy walking distance from all the sights. We felt this flat was in the perfect area. Very safe neighborhood, great nightlife.
Being that this was our first AirB&B experience we can't wait to do this more often. We would absolutely stay here again. Thomas is a great host!
