This was our first experience of Airbnb, and we will definitely do it again! We were met at the apartment by Pastora who speaks excellent English and explained everything that we needed to know. There is a binder with essential information including the location of local shops and restaurants. Because we were there in October, it was cool enough at night that we could sleep with the windows closed. It's just as well because the apartment overlooks a very busy street with lots of buses and cars going by, so it's quite noisy. I suspect it gets quite warm in the summer as the apartment is on the fifth floor (thank goodness there is an elevator!), and there is only air conditioning in the living room. However, we were perfectly comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with a variety of pots, pans and utensils, but my one criticism would be that there is only an ancient microwave oven, and no conventional oven, so all cooking is stove-top. The view from the apartment is absolutely spectacular, and its central location makes it very easy to get around Barcelona either by metro or bus. I would certainly recommend a stay here.
