Marcos and his wife have been very friendly and helpful. They picked us up at the metro where we arrived later than planned because we received our daughter's buggy only after a delay at the airport, sorry for that!!

We went to their spacious and tidy apartment, which was perfect for our stay, there is a Wii for the kids, a big kitchen and beds in which we slept very well, in fact I cannot remember a better bed in any hotel I went to. The living room has nice air conditioning. There is currently construction work going on in the street below at daytime, but the windows block the noise as well as that of the traffic very well.

There is a bakery some 5 minutes away where they have very good whole grain bread and even bread buns like we know and love in Germany, so we had nice breakfasts. A few steps outside the main entrance there is a small supermarket and then there is the big shopping mall over the street. About 80 meters down the road you can find an internet shop which we used to print out our tickets for the flight back. Other than that we heavily used the WLAN in the apartment which worked without any problems all of the time. The neighborhood is not the most glamorous one, but each one of the neighbors we met was nice.

You can walk to Sagrada Familia in about 20 minutes and there are two metro stations nearby at about 8 minutes, so you can easily go everywhere in the city by public transport. (We heartily recommend the Barcelona Card.)

We have been very satisfied with our first Airbnb experience, thank you Marcos & wife!
