One of the best AirBnB's I've ever stayed in!
This place is perfect for solo-travelers or couples. You'll read in most of the comments below that the stairs are the big downside to this place, but don't let that deter you for a second. They are not that difficult to ascend and once you reach the top, you instantly know why this location is so desired. The view is simply stunning. You can see multiple cathedrals, the Sagrada Familia and you basically have a 360 view of the Gothic Quarter. A cool breeze will join you every night and you'll find yourself not wanting to leave your rooftop perch. The condo is spread out in such a way that you never feel cramped, plenty of space to read or relax. Once you step outside the building, you are in the heart of El Born. Right in front of you is a huge super market with a few restaurants inside, perfect to buy groceries and to grab a quick bit to eat before you head out into the city. You are moments away from the Picasso Museum, Basilica de Santa Maria and the Parc de la Ciutdella. Some of the best restaurants in the city are just around the corner from you. The location is also very convenient for reaching the city outside of the neighborhood. I recommend going to the Grand Hotel Central, right around the corner, to grab a quick taxi.
On top of it all, Esther is an amazing and attentive host! When I first met her, she greeted me with a smile and lovingly hug. She'll tell you everything you need to know about the condo and has it fully stocked with towels, coffee, water and soap. Wi-fi is very fast and reliable. Any time I had a question, she responded to my texts instantly.
In summation, book this place immediately. Esther is so badass, the location unmatched and the views soul-nourishing. You will not regret it.
