This was our first Airbnb experience so we weren't totally sure what to expect. We arrived on Saturday evening and the instructions to get into the apartment were easy to follow and the apartment was as described, but with a few scuffs on the paintwork. Fernando had recommended several restaurants close by and we chose Xatier which did good paella. The apartment was clean and well equipped and the roof terrace gave us our first sighting of the Sagrada Familia. Communication was great before we arrived and during our stay, with questions on places to go answered quickly. Our best meal in the vacinity was at 9nine - a high quality tapas menu including wine for a reasonable price. The Conceptio market is worth a visit for fruit, veg, cheeses, hams if you want to do some self catering. Most of the main sites and the Barri Gotic are within 30 minutes walking distance. We would certainly stay here again if we visit Barcelona - and are now converts to Airbnb!
