This was our first experience using Airbnb and it was excellent! The apartment was exactly as described, being modern, clean and very well appointed and although we did not meet the host, Laurent, he was easily contactable by email thanks to the excellent Wifi connection at the apartment ( a small issue regarding a kettle was attended to very quickly this way). The location of the apartment is just brilliant, in a quiet street but with easy, walkable access to many bars, shops and restaurants. We particularly liked La Bodegon tapas restaurant and Bar Cine for their friendly staff and great vibe. We will definitely use the apartment again on any return visit. What a great city Barcelona is and Gracia a gem of a neighbourhood. How lucky we were to find this apartment. Would highly recommend!
