This was my best Airbnb experience ever - not only was the host Albert just perfect, extremely friendly and helpful, the apartment was spotlessly clean, and comfortably furnished with everything you could need for a short or long stay. Right down to nice bed linen (and lots to spare), many fluffy towels, plenty of toilet paper, clothes washing detergent - everything was taken care of. Bed is perfectly comfortable, couch is great for lounging or sleeping, and there are even black out shades that descend from the ceiling for a nice restful sleep. There was even a nice bottle of red wine waiting on my arrival!

The apartment is on a busy street, so expect a lot of traffic noise, but a few blocks behind the apartment is the delightful Poblenou area, with leafy avenues full of great restaurants and bars (start at Rambla de Poblenou/Carrer de Pere IV intersection). Also downstairs from the apartment in the same block is Jamon Jamon, a lovely little restaurant & deli where you can stock up on wine/cheese/ham/bread/snacks etc.

I highly recommend this deluxe apartment for a lovely stay in Barcelona. I hope to visit again sometime.
