Lovely location that made it easy to go just about anywhere in the city, and also various restaurants and amenities are close by. Apartment is very clean, kitchen is stocked with what you might need for a short term stay. Terrace is such a highlight -- really enjoyed spending time outside, having a nice coffee in open air. Kids were also very comfortable in their room. There is plenty of clean towels.
4 instead of 5 stars for 3 reasons:
1) the lock is a link online -- this was anxiety-triggering for me, i was worried I'd lose/break my phone or have it stolen and my family won't be able to get into the house or get in touch with anyone. since airbnb acct is locked into a phone number, this is a big issue in case you need to access your acct from elsewhere if you do lose your phone ...
2) this house is a very noisy one. we have 2 small kids and go to sleep early... there was ppl going in/out until 2 am, slamming doors loudly that felt like they were inside the apartment... I didn't mind the noise coming from the street itself, however, but inside the house, you can hear just about everything. Maybe wouldn't be an issue for really sound sleepers :)
3) the master bedroom comes with 2 separate beds. no real issue, the owner is 100% upfront about this and the pictures reflect this reality (also this is very common in apartments in Barcelona). But this turned out to be less than ideal for us because i thought we'd be able to push the beds together and they'd just stay in place... they sadly didn't stay in place and kept riding apart, so that made us a bit less comfortable than I would have liked.
Otherwise, a very happy and enjoyable stay in Barcelona and the host is very, very nice and shared helpful information as well about nice places to visit in the neighborhood.
