Jon's apartment is set on a small street, in walking distance from Catalonia Square. This makes it an ideal location for anyone wishing to explore the deep culture and idyllic city streets of Barcelona. There are local shops nearby, including a 24 hour supermarket as well as a larger supermarket. There are also plenty of places to eat and a Taxi rank immediately outside of the building, for ease of getting around and to and from the airport.
Jon met us as we arrived in the Taxi from the airport and took care of our luggage since we arrived too early to enter the apartment. It was kind of him to do this as of course AirBnb hosts aren't expected to and he took the time to sort it out so we had chance to see the city. Upon entering you are met with a wonderfully and tastefully decorated modern apartment, it almost makes you want to stay and not leave to see the city, but thanks to Jon we had a great number of places and were well equipped to explore from the moment we arrived. You can tell that Jon has taken care in renovating the apartment and has put a great deal of thought into making it a great place for people to relax when they are visiting the city. With a beautiful and private terrace, comfortable beds that give you a good nights sleep and climate control to keep you cool if you aren't great with the heat, you will be sure to have a perfect experience if you stay at Jon's place. It's also worth mentioning that although it is so close to the centre, it remained quiet due to the height of the building and the bedrooms being placed at the back away from the streets.
Many extra touches were given by Jon, as I previously mentioned he provided maps and was always ready to help us in the city, or provide us with information, recommend restaurants and things to do. We tried many of Jon's recommendations and they were all perfectly suited to us, so we honestly cannot fault him. Jon also provided a Corona for me, as he read that I enjoyed a good Corona in my profile. Small personal touches such as these really made it a great trip, there were a few others too. He truly made our stay a delight and we would wholeheartedly recommend Jon and his apartment for anyone who wants to stay in Barcelona.
