The Airbnb is just as described- also the stairs are true!! Be ready for a workout to get up there. Definitely don't do it with big luggage!! Its easy to get to the metro, walk to lots of the spots that must be seen in Barcelona. We had the misfortune of experiencing what everyone says about Barcelona that is full of pit pocketters!! On New Years Day, I had my backpack stolen right from under my nose at the coffee shop 365. I left with a bitter taste in my mouth... don't think I want to come to Barcelona any time soon. Montserrat communicated clearly with us and gave me some tips on running trails near by.
