Staying at José's place was an absolute privilege and one of the most memorable AirBnB experiences I have had. First of all, the apartment itself is wonderfully renovated, cosy and spacious at the same time, very well equipped and perfectly clean. The location could not have been better and it meant I could maximise the short time I had in Barcelona. Amazing history right on the doorstep, quick access to metro, and endless food and entertainment in the surrounding laneways and waterfront promenade. This is a mere attempt at emphasising just how good this location is to base yourself. You will feel the buzz of the surrounding old town atmosphere while retaining privacy and quiet if needed. Being in an old building (renovated) with a lift was a great convenience. Additionally, shared laundry facilities on top floor were very appreciated!
That being said about the physical accomodation, the real magic was from José's warm and inviting check-in experience. The local recommendations were excellent and I will be coming back to try the rest that I didn't have time to visit! José truly is an amazing host with his hospitality and I look forward to returning as soon as possible - I will definitely be staying with José again and recommending his accomodations to all friends and family.
