I think this is up there with the best airbnb stays I’ve ever had, definitely the best overseas one I think.
Being a non-Spanish speaker (Australian) I just really appreciated the easy communication and sharing of a space with an intelligent and interesting person on my wavelength. Ana has an interesting life and is well-informed about a lot of stuff, including recent and past Spanish history - I may not have heard this from anyone else there so that was pretty valuable. I enjoyed talking one-to-one with Ana and she made me feel welcome.
The space is very nice with a high-quality bedroom and bathroom and private kitchen space, and I think you’d get the best sleeps ever in Barcelona - the guest room’s really quiet and the bed’s really comfortable.
Her two cats are fine, Molly the less dominant in the hierarchy hung out with me a bit. Wifi fine, everything great, communication in the leadup super...it was a little hard to leave :-) and get on with Spain. Probably should have booked longer so I had more time to travel out of the city a bit.
Oh by the way, staying here you are two doors down from the top-rated tapas bar in Barcelona!
Very grateful to Ana for this stay.
