This was the most amazing stay I have ever had in Airbnb! The place is done up so well, with a great designer's taste, preserving the authenticity of the original building with some eclectic touch-ups. Industrial meets eclectic - my favorite style. From the unforgettable ceramic hand basin to fairy lights in the balcony - the aesthetics of the apartment are praise worthy and would compete with many boutique hotels. Communication with the host was super easy and always immediate. We had an electricity issue and Nicolas immediately called and explained how to fix the problem. Everything was super smooth, from the initial meet up till leaving the key at the end. The whole experience was praise worthy!
The only cons were the heat at night and the absence of an air con (plenty of fans available though). Also, those with children or elderly/disable could find a bit inconvenient getting up to the upstairs beds. Stairs are pretty narrow and require to be in a good physical shape in order to access them.
There were plenty of spices, herbs and dishes available to make our own meals which we really enjoyed cooking, considering the quality and freshness of the local produce which we've got from the market just 2 minutes away from the house. A supermarket and several shops are located just a few minutes away too. We used Valenbisi - city bikes available for rent, hot spot placed just outside the apartment! It was the most convenient way to travel for us, although the sea wasn't far neither - just 10 minutes walk or so. Metro is located about 15 minutes walk (considering luggage) which was quite straightforward and easy to navigate. The area (Cabanyal) where the apartment is located is the most charming and lovely - I definitely recommend it for those who like to chill out and to be by the beach.
It's a fantastic place for adults or a couple - hip, romantic and very trendy. I would definitely recommend this place!
