Jon was an attentive and gracious host during the exchange/introduction to the apartment.
Apartment is pretty much exactly as shown on the Airbnb website; beautiful and very clean. This is clearly a first class property and you must not be put off by the entrance. Location is just off of the Placa de Catalunya but far enough so as not to be disruptive from the bustle of the Rambla.
My wife, two teenage daughters and I had a wonderful vacation in Barcelona and loved our base camp.
Note: Jon was also kind enough to reach out to share his knowledge of lengthy security delays at the airport for our planned departure and arranged a taxi so we would get there in plenty of time.
