Ilià's place was amazing! It's so spacious and the way it's decorated you can tell it's an architect's house. Our room was a good size with our own private toilet and sink (the shower/bath is shared but we never saw the other guests so it was like having it to ourselves) and we also had our own private (huge!) living room. We had access to the shared kitchen but never actually used it. Ilià had put some really thoughtful touches to the room; fresh towels each, tissues by the bed, a fan in case it was hot, password to the WiFi, etc.
The area is lively and trendy, and it's only a short walk to the nearest metro station. We also found the most amazing bakery on the way to the metro, Demasié, and the guys that worked there were so funny.
Ilià was away when we stayed so his neighbour gave us the keys and the tour of the apartment, which was really helpful. Our flight was delayed but Ilià and his neighbour were really accommodating and kind. Ilià also replied back quickly with anything I asked and was such a good communicator and very friendly.
We only stayed for the weekend but if we come back to Barcelona we'd definitely like to stay here again. It was my boyfriend's first experience with Airbnb and I think he was a bit nervous about not staying in a hotel but he was so impressed with the apartment! Thank you Ilià! :-)
