Our stay at Jordi's place was wonderful!!! As a host, Jordi was amazing. Not only did he give us lots of recommendations for stores and restaurants, but he also went above and beyond the call of duty when our daughter's luggage was lost. He was always quick to reply to any inquiry and he made the check in and check out process very simple. Jordi truly is a super host.
As for the apartment, It was exactly as we expected. It was clean, spacious enough for the three of us, and conveniently located. Probably the best thing I can say about the apartment is that I always felt 100% safe there!! And speaking of convenience, if US citizens continue to need a covid test to return home, there is a Schbelta Clinic just a two minute walk away. Schedule your appointment online. Super easy and you get the results within 15 minutes. This was an added bonus for us.
I do have a few suggestions for guests. Download a white noise app on your phone as the neighbors were a bit loud and there is a cat somewhere that cries A LOT. Once I had white noise, I slept great!!! (We rarely heard any traffic noise.) And be aware that some things Americans take for granted are not there - facecloths, napkins, paper towels, facial tissues. These are not common in Europe so I fault myself for not thinking about them. Just grab some extra napkins when you eat out. :-)
I absolutely recommend Jordi as a host and this property if you are visiting Barcelona. I hope that this will not be our last trip!!
