This was my first experience with Airbnb & I have to say that it was fantastic.

The Host: Wilken was an excellent host. He always replied promptly to any questions that we had and was there to greet us at the apartment upon arrival. Everything went very smoothly so we did not need to contact him during our stay. He was even kind enough to book our return taxi to the airport.

The Apartment: Very well decorated, modern, bright & spacious - exactly as the pictures look. Lovely balcony off the living area which was great for evening drinks. We were a group of 5 friends and there was plenty of space. Well equipped kitchen with a fridge which was already stocked with all the essentials. The bedrooms were well laid out with plenty of storage space and comfortable beds.

The Neighborhood: Located in a very well maintained apartment building just off Avenue Diagonal. There are a few cafes/bars in the immediate area & a supermarket nearby ("Cup & Cake" was a particular favourite of ours for brunch). We found it easy to walk into the centre of Barcelona from here, enjoying the shops/cafes on the way. There is a metro stop a few minutes walk away & taxis are pretty reasonable too.

Overall this is a beautiful apartment in a great location with a very reliable host. I hope to return to Barcelona soon & will definitely stay here again - highly recommended.
