Asal is by far the most welcoming and helpful host I've ever encountered on airbnb! She knew my boyfriend and I were coming to Barcelona without a clue as to what to do or where to go, and upon our arrival (despite it being late at night) she took the time to sit with us and offer enough suggestions and recommendations to last us for 10 trips! Throughout our stay, she was always available for anything we needed and was excellent with communication. She truly opened up her home and went out of her way to make us comfortable and feel as though it was just as much our space as hers. As far as the room itself, she is not kidding when she calls it small! But it's a very charming and cozy space perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. The rest of the home is lovely, her kitty is the sweetest, and Asal and her boyfriend were the absolute coolest hosts (seriously, if we had more time in Barcelona we would have just taken a day to do nothing but just hang out with them at home!)
The location of the place was perfect and very close to a lot of fun bars, fantastic restaurants, and walking distance to great shopping and cinemas.
My only regret in choosing to stay with Asal is that we didn't book our trip for longer! Can't wait to return to Barcelona and visit her again.
