This was the first time we have stayed in an AirBnb and we were a bit apprehensive. We needn’t have worried. Xavi’s communication was excellent and was very prompt to reply. He sent us detailed instructions of how to find the accommodation and was there to greet us on arrival. Xavi doesn’t speak much English but was able to communicate with us very well using the Airbnb app and an app on his phone. The accommodation is an annex off the main house and we had our own keys which enabled us to come and go as we pleased. The accommodation is compact but was exactly what we needed for 3 days sightseeing Barcelona and was sparklingly clean. The accommodation is about a five minute walk from the metro at El Carmel which is the north east side of park Guel and takes approximately 20 minutes into the centre of Barcelona with 1 change. There are also local shops in walking distance.
In summary, Xavi is a fantastic host, the accommodation he offers is perfect for a short stay in Barcelona, it’s compact but clean and is near transport links and we can’t wait to stay again :-)
