I don’t even know where to start...
The location was perfect, only a short ride to the beach Barceloneta. Just below the apartment are restaurants and grocery stores with great food at a good price (<€15). The place is also close to metro and bus lines, about a 3 minute walk.
The hosts, Gabi and his parents Maritza and Tavi were the best hosts I could’ve imagined. They are a tight knit family and right away it felt like my girlfriend and I were part of the family. The parents practiced their English and we practiced our Spanish, it was amazing. They really are the sweetest people in the world. I was worried about going out and coming back late, but it was no problem at all.
Gabi (Gabriel) was always around to translate if needed but we could communicate just fine most of the time.
The place itself was sparkling clean, with modern ammenities and a cozy feel. Hot shower, comfortable bed, tv in the room, beautiful view of a local street in Barcelona. I would recommend this place 10 times out of 10. Don’t bother finding a hotel, this Airbnb is WAY better. Stop looking now and book!
