First time using Airbnb and the usual trepidation about such things were soon quashed when we met Shalini and Ignassi who gave a wonderful warm welcome for which we are so grateful, immediately putting us at ease. Their recommendations were perfect and they have the perfect blend of giving you the info you need and the freedom you need. If this is what all hosts are like we'll definitely be using Airbnb again. I've recommended it to everyone.
The apartment is stunning and could not be any better situated just off the Ramblas, has a great little cafe across the square, the port for a nice Sunday morning walk, the incredible markets are a short walk. It's comfortable, spacious and welcoming and if we're back in Barcelona again we know where to stay.
