This was my first time using airbnb and it was a highlight of our two weeks in Spain! I went to Barcelona over the holidays, arrived at the apartment on Christmas day and stayed for 7 days with my mother, little sister and sister's friend. My mom and I took the larger room that had the double bed and a twin bed and the teenagers got the room with the bunk beds. I can't recommend this apartment enough. It truly has the perfect location, right in the heart of the Plaza Catalunya, with stops for the green and red metro lines. Both will take you anywhere in Barcelona. It's just a fantastic location for exploring the city on foot or by metro. Only a few doors down is the Corte Inglis. Spain's flagship store. There is a supermarket and bakery at the ground level. The airport bus also arrives and departs right in front of the Corte Inglis. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in the area. I would recommend exploring the side streets off Calle Angel, which is across the street from the apartment.

The apartment itself is also great, looks exactly like the pictures. Super modern, with everything you could need. The rooms were clean, beds comfy and we were provided with bath and hand towels, soap, toilet paper. The internet is fast, heating, television, and best of all there is a dual washing/drying machine! Though we never quite figured out the drying part. There is also a heated drying rack in the bathroom. Francois was also great, very responsive.
