If you would like an authentic Spanish home stay, this is perfect. We watched tv in the kitchen with the father of the house as we did our laundry which we hung at the balcony. These are the little things that make a home stay a home stay.
In terms of location, it is perfect. Due to weird city planning in Barcelona, quiet residential areas can be situated right next to places of major landmarks such as the La Sagrada Familia. One moment we were strolling down a peaceful quiet neighbourhood street at the Airbnb, the next, one train station was La Sagrada Familia. The Airbnb, being very near Encants station, is truly in the centre of all the action.
