We arrived at Sonia’s apartment early, having had to leave our cruise ship by 9 am. Although the apartment wasn’t yet cleaned and ready, Sonia met us there and let us stow our luggage in the foyer.
She also answered questions about TV, air conditioning, coffee maker, etc. The apartment is located on the busy, wide Grand Via street, about 2 bus stops from the Plaza Espanya — very convenient to the Metro system to get anywhere in Barcelona. There were grocery stores and cafes along the street, so we didn’t need to go far to get supplies. The apartment itself is very stylish and appliances looked new. The bed was comfortable (although small by American standards —- my husband said he enjoyed having me close for a change! LOL!). Having the small terrace was a plus, as one could have a glass of wine out there in the evening. The bathroom is very updated and the shower was great (although it was a bit tough to close the door to shower as there is no handle from inside the shower). All in all we were very happy with the apartment and found Sonia to be easy to work with. Her English is good and she gave us quick replies when we used the AirBnB app to ask questions. Now that we know the area, we would definitely stay in this apartment again and highly recommend it to other AirBnB customers. Paul & Paula from Ocala, FL
