Praxedes' place is amazing. Perfectly located, immediately near metro, at the foot of Montjuic and a 10 minute walk to La Rambla. The tapas bars on Blai Street are great, and it's so close by for a fun night out in a busy, lively atmosphere. The apartment itself is located on a quiet road, with a great little balcony overlooking the balconies and clotheslines of other nearby residents. Truly an amazing atmosphere to sit out and take in the sun and views with a nice cold Estrella beer! The apartment is modern and updated, but while still retaining rustic charm and Spanish feel. Those exposed beam ceilings are amazing. The apartment was clean and well cared, had great wifi and everything else you could need. Praxedes was easy to communicate with leading up to our stay and responded very quickly to any messages or requests I had. Monica was sweet and helpful when she greeted us. She left us a bottle of sparkling wine and provided lots of useful tips about where to eat and what to see in Barcelona. One heads-up: Monica took photos of our passports with her mobile phone, as the city of Barcelona requires passports details for tourist accommodations now. This is not the most secure way to obtain passport details. Had we known ahead, we could have provided paper photocopies instead. It made us a little uneasy, and it would have been great to have known about this process so that we were not surprised by it once we arrived (no airbnb has ever required this of me before, but this was my first stay in Barcelona). Overall, very much recommended and I would love to stay again! Thanks Praxedes and Monica.
