Nine days did I stay in Desirée's home and it was the best AirBnB choice I could have made because it was a really great experience. First of all, Desirée is such a fantastic host! She always wants to help you whenever you need something and is so super kind. And at the same time I felt totally free in her house. To me this freedom, together with a host who is so helpful, quiet and nice to talk with, is the very best combination. The apartment of Desirée has a very warm and quiet atmosphere, which of course must be a reflection of the owner ;-). And Bancha, the lovely, quiet and funny cat, is even one more plus to the place. He loves it when you play with him :-).
For me it was the first time in Barcelona, and after having seen quite a lot places and neighbourhoods during my stay in Barcelona I still feel very enthousiastic about my choice for Poblenou. It's so charming and nice, it's safe and has such a lovely atmosphere.
So there can only be one conclusion: after only perfect experiences I'll definitely contact Desirée again when I'll return to Barcelona! :-)
