Ben's place was our 3rd Airbnb experience. Having gone through the first 2 good hosts, we were expecting a similar or a better host. But it failed to live up to our expectations.
We arrived on a Sunday morning whereby the host had to work last minute. As we couldn't check in until 2.30pm we were advised to keep our luggage at the bus station in Arc de Triomf (with no instruction on the direction and whereabout). We asked Ben for direction from the metro station to the apartment but it didn't come through. All we received was the full address from his profile. In the end we managed to find our way there at night with our luggage feeling tired, stressed and confused with the streets and numbers. After all it was our first day in a foreign city.
Ben's room was big and we had a bathroom all to ourselves. We just wished we had a place and some hangers for our clothes as we stayed there for 4 days. In the photos, there was a wardrobe but not in actual.
We had accesss to the kitchen which we could boil some water and make our packed lunches. Just wishing the kitchen was cleaner and more tidy.
As a host, Ben did recommend us places to visit and eat. He also helped us to book Sagrada Familia online. **Bear in mind if you want to go to any attractions in Barcelona, please book online as it saves time and hassle for long queues.
Thank you Ben!
