FANTASTIC. This was our fist Airbnb EVER and if we had known it was going to be this fantastic I would had done this a long time ago. We were a little hesitant about our stay because we were new at this. Fernando was always in contact with me in a very professional manner. He was quick to respond to my inquiries and questions. My family and I flew from London and our arrival was earlier than expected. Fernando was able to arrange the Appartment for us as as soon as his other visitors left. Very much appreciated Fernando 😁. Our host was very personable, kind and very easy to work with.
The host:
Fernando takes pride in being a host. He welcomed us with some fruit, fresh bred and milk. Honestly when you have children and have been traveling it’s nice to know that you are cared for. He provided us with city map with all the metro 🚇 information we needed to know. He explained in detail how the metro works and how to purchase tickets 🎫 where we could save money. He went as far as providing us with a list of his and his wife’s favorite restaurants around the Appartment and in the city as well a list of the the cities must see. The important landmarks and where the best typical foods are found.
I was interested in a museum of an specific time of history, he researched the museums and sent me the information. He is more than a host he is a proud Español who cares about the tourists.
The Appartment :
Amazing 👍very confortable, very clean and very well situated. There was four of us and we slept comfortably. No need for air conditioning we slept with the windows open and it was very cool.
What I loved the best of this Appartment is the fact that is so close to the metro. With one direct stop to the city center.
Food: Fernando has a very cool practice that I later appreciated. Fernando keep more then the basics in the kitchen. He has the option for tenants to leave anything they buy that otherwise will be thrown away for the for the next tenants. We had coffee, cookies, sugar, salt, cooking oil, and many other things so that we did not have to buy the big containers of those items, which is what your find in the markets. Whatever we bought to cook we left it for the next visitors. Such an amazing practice. It gave me the family/community feeling (we stayed in another Airbnb in Barcelona where there was nothing to begin with and after arriving to our Appartment around midnight and hungry, we realized that Fernando enjoys his job and care about his visitors)
I very much recommend La Linda. I found in Fernando not only a professional host, but someone who takes you seriously and with great pleasure. We loved it and will for sure return.
