Well what can I say, Mike was very accommodating from the start. Booking the apartment and liaising with Mike was great, considering this was my first time using Air BnB he made it easy. Once we arrived I had to carry my bags up the flight of stairs, but that is exactly what i wanted! a local experience in a local type apartment building. Once we arrived, Mike was fantastic, stayed and gave us hints and tips around Barcelona and showed us the functions of the apartment. The apartment was exceptional, I was very impressed and the pictures actually dont do it justice, you have to see it to believe it! The local area is fantastic and its close to everything you need with great bars and restaurants in the area. Mike and the apartment has set the standard for me using Air BnB and I look forward to the next experience and recommend the apartment and dealing with Mike to anyone coming to Barcelona!
