Annabel's place and Juan Carlos the manager were terrific. I've rented a lot of Airbnb's and have never had such a wonderful host. Juan Carlos, whose English is perfect, went above and beyond in more ways than I can recount. From his response to my first email asking for more information to his ordering the taxi to take us to the airport and coming to see us off, Juan Carlos found ways to make our trip even more enjoyable -- advice on restaurants and getting around; getting tickets to concerts, museums and tours; and when our cell phone was stolen, (a bit of neglect on our part on the metro - we'd been warned), he took us to the police station. We wanted to be in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, walking distance to restaurants, sites, the metro, El Born neighborhood, La Ribera neighborhood, parks, tapas, museums, the beach -- and that's just what this place was. We wanted to sleep in a comfortable bed -- the mattress was brand new and very comfy -- have air conditioning, good wifi, and other amenities -- and it was everything we expected and more. It's on a busy street -- so expect noise, but the bedroom in the back of the apartment is quiet (with earplugs) and the balcony overlooking the street was a wonderful spot to watch all the action below while sipping espresso or cava. I highly recommend this apartment and its terrific hosts.
