My review has two parts. On one hand, this was my most stressful experience with Airbnb. Prior to my trip I was asked for cash payment, being contacted through an unauthorized Airbnb email, asked for other information I did not feel comfortable giving, and 2 days before my arrival a copy of all passports and numbers because "in Barcelona they have to report to the police every day each and every guest that is staying in one of their apartments. So you know that I’ll need to have you passport numbers on arrival." I was never asked for my passport upon arrival and what was asked of me is not within Airbnb policy, which makes me question the motives of the hosts.

On the other hand, I never met Phil and Fiona, just their friend that help set us up. The apartment is in a great location and has very easy access to all parts of the city and metro. It is very well furnished with a nice balcony view. The stay it self was a good experience.
