Clean, charming apartment with two genuinely warm and thoughtful hosts. This is airbnb with a heart.

Hugo and Ioannis really know what makes a great stay for travellers, and they do it from their hearts. Genuinely hospitable, well travelled, humorous and well spoken, they welcomed us into their home from the beginning. Their pets Uma and Rocco are also great at meeting new people. You can't not fall in love with them.

Everything is exactly as it looks in the pictures. The house is immaculate, tastefully decorated and full of character. You get snacks, toiletries, towels and USB chargers in your room. The boys also go above and beyond to provide a tin of plasters. By the third day, my blistered feet were very thankful for their excellent foresight.

The flat is located in a safe, trendy neighbourhood. There is no stifling tourist footfall within a comfortable radius, although you can walk to many key tourist sights in a few minutes. Many good cafes, bars, patisseries, restaurants etc in the vicinity as well. The boys gave us some really good recommendations for food and also made the effort to walk us there. In the morning they also made a trip with us to the flea market, which is a little further away.

Hugo and Ioannis, thank you for having us and sharing not just your home but also your time and life stories with us! Definitely will return when visiting Barcelona again :)
