This was my wife and I's first time ever using AirBNB. Our friends said make sure you read the reviews to get an idea of what the places are like. If you are reading my review, you have seen countless others indicating how great this apartment is and especially how great of host Alberto and his sister Sandra are. We started the process of renting this place about 6 months ago, anytime I had a question Alberto was sure to respond that day usually within a couple hours. While we were there he would help us locate directions or what metros to use, always responding so quickly. The apartment itself was bigger than we expected, very modern and very clean. But the best part was its location, it was out of the center of the busy city, but the metro was down the street and you could be at Los Ramblas in 15 minutes or anywhere else you want to go. The tram buses and train are all right there. Our personal favorite in our neighborhood, was Los Ramblas Poblenou which was around the corner from the apartment and is a street filled with restaurants. We also walked to the beach one day right from the place. I absolutely give our stay at this apartment 5 big stars!! Thanks Alberto and Sandra!!
