This airbnb was the highlight of my trip to Spain. Victoria greeted me and brought me right upstairs. She showed me my room, the bathroom and gave me a detailed guide of the city. She also made me a coffee and we chatted a bit - such a friendly welcome!
The location is amazing. You can walk everywhere (the beach, El Born, The Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, grocery stores, yoga studios and restaurants) and is RIGHT by Park Ciutadel and the Arc de Triumf.
The apartment itself is clean and very spacious - I loved my room. The bed was comfortable and I had extra blankets and lots of pillows. The room has a small window that is blocked. It is generally quiet, unless the people in the room next to this one are noisy, then you can hear them. Although I missed having sunlight in my room it was nice because it stayed very dark so I could sleep in (and cool, thanks to the fan.)
The bathroom was clean and every guest has their own space (shelf, hook, etc.) The guests that came halfway through were messy and left lots of hair and water everywhere, but that was no fault of my hosts :)
The kitchen was bright and organized (everyone has their own shelf in the pantry and in the fridge) and I appreciated my complimentary nespresso pods and toast packets with jam!!
I want to come back to Barcelona just to sit on their balcony and enjoy the sunshine with my morning coffee.
If you visit Barcelona, stay here! The location is unbeatable, the apartment is clean, tidy and comfortable and the hosts are what make it the best - super friendly, open to chat and very helpful.
Muchas gracias Xavi, Victoria and Julie!! I'll be back :)
