Well, let me start with stating that this was my first time using Airbnb to book a place, also first time in Spain.
Short review: we had an incredible time and Monica's place is simply amazing.
Details:
- Monica was very friendly and welcoming.
- The apartment is located close to Placa Espanya and the public transportation is just around the corner (by the way it is also super, we used the Hola BCN card, and it worked for us pretty well).
- The house is clean and fully equipped (I know that this was mentioned by many others before, but this needs to be emphasized big time). Washing machine, refrigerator, electric owen, microwave, 2 A/C units, big flat screen TV, internet, all sorts of cutlery, Hi-Fi with iPhone dock (you can leave your charger at home), nice furniture, etc.
- Two big terraces with sunshine all the time. Great overview to the city and great place to have breakfast / dinner or simply to lay down.
- "Welcome package": clean towels, coke, milk, coffee, pastry, wine. Better than a hotel, and a really nice gesture from the owners.
All in all, if we ever decide to visit Barcelona again (highly likely as we had a wonderful week there) we will choose the same place without thinking. 5 out of 5.
Thank you Monica, thank you Airbnb!
