Mari was very communicative prior to our arrival, and greeted us with a smile & hugs at the curb when the taxi dropped us off. She helped with our luggage and welcomed us into her gorgeous place with a bottle of wonderful wine. The pictures are exactly what you can expect to see when you arrive; it is unbelievable to stay in this gorgeous unit! Mari showed us around the place, explaining how to work the AC and where to find anything we may need inside (light switches, fan, hair dryer, towels) and outside (she went over a map with detailed instructions on her suggested places to visit, delicious restaurants, bus routes). The neighborhood was safe and quiet, with lots of restaurants and people out and about. It was fantastic! One block from the Sagrada Familia church, so where could you go wrong? You don't want to miss this gem in Barcelona! This was my first time using Airbnb, and I am sold!
