Stay here if you are in Barcelona! This was our favorite Airbnb to date. The panoramic view from Manuel's beautiful, garden terrace is worth the cost alone. Gorgeous, quiet place to have morning coffee or share a bottle of wine at night. You have the entire 7th floor to yourself. The elevator is a tight squeeze but I found it charming and it gave the apartment even more character. The apartment is a studio so it's a bit smaller but it still feels larger than a standard hotel room, especially with the enormous outdoor space. It is more than enough room for two people. Manuel has stocked the kitchen with everything you could need including coffee and tea, condiments and spices, and plenty of pots and pans if you want to cook. He even left us some Coke and a couple beers in the fridge as a welcome gift!

Manuel greeted us so warmly and the checkin was easy. He is very organized and quite concerned with his guests enjoying their stay. He leaves a sort of "survey" to ask how he can improve. He is always available, though he was very respectful and let us have our own space.

The neighborhood is very quiet but there are plenty of bakeries, parks, restaurants, and markets within close walking distance (3-5mins). Manuel even left us a map of the area which pointed out his favorite businesses and included certain days they are closed, favorite menu items, etc. It's not terrbily close to many of the more famous Barcelona attractions (Sagrada Familia, El Born, Gothic Quarter, etc) but there are no shortage of cabs and the metro station is very close and easy to use. We actually walked home from the Sagrada Familia and it was nice to just leisurely stroll through the different neighborhoods. It only took us about 45 minutes.

If we are ever in Barcelona again we would stay here in a heartbeat! Thank you for your hospitality, Manuel!
