Ana was a pleasure to work with, and her place was wonderful. Her communication from the moment of her accepting our booking request was very prompt, informative and extremely helpful. We were already in Europe for 11 days by the time we were ready to check in to her place, and this was the third Airbnb place we were using. We were extremely happy with the apartment; the elevator is a Godsend, the apartment was clean and well-furnished, and we appreciated the in-house document of the rules, things to do, how to get around, and the extra brochures and maps.

We enjoyed the patio, more so in the afternoon while the patio was shaded (it's warm in July in Barcelona!), the kitchen was well-stocked, and everything worked well. Ana even went out and purchased a new coffee pot when I asked which kind of coffee maker she already had! She was just wonderful.

A couple of tips for future tenants - there are two nearby Metro stops, and both are a good 5-6 blocks away. Plan for about a 10 minute walk to the stations (Joanic/yellow and Sagrada Familia/purple). If you plan to use Barcelona's very good Metro system, buy a T10 pack and share it. That practice is encouraged. Another tip; don't wait until the last day to visit the Sagrada Familia! Tickets for the entire day sell out fast, so pick a day and time, and buy your tickets in advance. Third tip; there is a wonderful grocery store three streets to the south called Bonavue. The prices were very good and they had a very large selection of items. I brought home 100 Nespresso pods for about 15% of what they cost in the US. Haha!

I highly recommend Ana's apartment and would gladly stay here again on my next visit to Barcelona! Thank you again, Ana, you were great.
