Mike was waiting in the apartment when we arrived an hour late due to a delayed flight. He helped carrying our heavy bags up to the third floor where the apartment is situated. The place exceeded our expectations as we thought it felt very spacious for a rather small apartment. It features lots of storage space which was nice as we stayed for a week. Nicely placed curtains divide the 'bedroom' or 'bathroom' from the rest of the studio. Furthermore all kitchen equipment we needed, was there.

The place began to feel like coming home more and more every night.
A few days it was quite hot outside, over 30 degrees Centigrade, but the airconditioner worked really well and it never felt too hot inside.
The french balcony also was a godsend as it was very relaxing to have breakfast sitting near the open doors, listening to the sounds of the Buddha fountain of the neighbour downstairs.

There could've been an extra set of towels as two big and two small towels are surely not enough for staying a week. But when contacting Mike about this he dropped some detergent within a few hours so we could wash the towels ourselves.

The area had a nice vibe. A nice small bakery, greengrocer and a few cafes/diners are located right down in the street and the apartment is situated between two metro stations which take you about anywhere in the city centre. There are also a few bus lines nearby which go directly to the Barceloneta beach or Park Güell.

All in all, we had a great week in Barcelona and are surely checking out this or other apartments Mike rents out trough airbnb when we're thinking of staying in Barca again.
