Damien & his team were very professional and communicated very effectively throughout the process, receiving multiple emails prior to our arrival to ensure a smooth check-in procedure. He was also very accommodating in letting me change my method of payment w/o any cancellation fees, so much appreciated.

The apartment is not your typical Airbnb property as it's owned/listed/managed by a real estate group vs being an individual's personal home, so apart from a less personalized feeling it shouldn't change your expectations.

The apartment was clean, comfortably furnished, TV worked (hardly watched it), wifi very reliable & fast, kitchen appeared clean (never used it, except to chill some cava), A/C had some on/off issues but worked fine (chilled main living space SUPER cold but not much movement to other rooms), bed was ok (not Westin Heavenly Bed comfortable) but after walking all over town was sufficient (albeit a bit short for this 6' 2" guy), bathroom was surprisingly big for a European apt with solid water pressure and sufficient hot water, being on the 5th floor I would have expected a bit quieter but we did have some 4am revelers on Sat night & some consistent traffic noise throughout the nights, but plenty of space for two with bags & large closet w/ a safe.

Breakfast (coffee & pastry) at coffee shop around the corner is included, a nice touch and just enough to get you started before a day full of tapas.

The apartment is very conveniently located just north of old town, a 4 euro train & easy walk or 30 euro taxi from BCN, but in the perfect spot to walk to Sagrada Familia, Gracia, Park Guell, Barrio Gotic, La Rambla & even Barceloneta/beach for the ambitious.
