What a lovely place. Located just far enough from the city center that it felt like a truer experience of what it’s like to live in Barcelona, but close to many transportation options that getting in, out, and around was a breeze. Local restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and parks all within walking distance.
The apartment itself is efficiently furnished and thoughtfully designed. Lots of windows meant we got a lot of light and airflow. We made use of the of the kitchen and the balcony daily! Using the in-unit washing machine and drying our clothes in the sun was idyllic. The penthouse is a walkup, so folks who have trouble climbing lots of stairs would not be able to stay here.
Roberto and his colleagues were responsive and accommodating. There is a Spanish travel/tourism rule that requires hosts to collect guests’ travel information, which Airbnb is not set up to do. Roberto explained this clearly to us and allowed us to simply show our documents when we arrived instead. He arranged for a colleague to check us in early, and served as a translator over their phone. We felt very well taken care of. Thank you Roberto!
