Hola Everybody I'm maximo ,I lived here in Barcelona for 1 weeks totally and she more taked care of me than my mom!! Although She was on her vacations ,always call me to check my comfortable and check how the house's going on. One of the ingredients that make my trip so wonderful is This room ,everything was cleanly orginazable and available to use.Furthermore,The view of the city is the thing i love most.You can stay at the terrace so look around and you'll crash wish Sagrada Familia and The beach. I can't find greater word more than Fantastic!! i'm very lucky of knowing this site and talking with Simona,Trust me and you will have the great time!!
Jun 27, 2019I had an amazing time at Simona's place, she is the best host a visitor can ask for. The apartment is bright and spacious, the terraces are massive, I even had my own terrace. She was very caring, helped me with everything, and must say we've become friends over my 8 days there. If you want to get the full experience in Barcelona, don't hesitate to book one of her rooms. She is simply awesome, and the apartment is just off La Rambla. I will definitely go back to visit her! Highly recommend it to anybody.
Jun 27, 2019Simona is a very nice host. The room nice, bright, loved breakfast on the terrace. The room is quiet. A few minutes walk from La Ramblas and the harbor. I spent 5 days in Barcelona enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Simona, Vivien
Jun 27, 2019Grâce à l'accueil de Simona, je me suis sentie directement à l'aise chez elle. Elle est disponible et prévenante. Tout est exactement comme sur les photos. J'ai adoré ma chambre individuelle avec "MA" terrasse où je pouvais aller m'installer pour déjeuner ou simplement lire: vraiment un super plus! Facilement accessible depuis l'aéroport et/ou du centre, le quartier est calme et tranquille avec des magasins à 2 pas. La cuisine est accessible, une planche dans le frigo, la machine à lessiver (que des points positifs)... J'y retournerai, ça c'est sûr ;-) je vous recommande vivement cet endroit
Jun 27, 2019Simona una gran anfitriona,siempre dispuesta y respetuosa. Respecto a la casa,mejor que en las fotos,con una terraza muy amplia y soleada. La zona es genial,con todo cerca y a la vez muy tranquila. Muy recomendable,no dudaría en volver!
Jun 27, 2019J'ai eu une magnifique expérience chez Simona. La vue de la terrasse est splendide et m'aura vraiment marqué. L'appartement en lui même est grand, décoré avec un goût très sûr. Situé au tout dernier étage, le calme qui y règne tranche avec l'animation du quartier. Quartier qui au demeurant est tres cosmopolite, vivant et proche de tout ce qu'il y a de plus agréable dans Barcelone. Enfin Simona a été un hôte particulièrement sympathique. Elle m'a bcp conseillé sur des endroits géniaux de Barcelone impossible à connaître pour qui ne réside pas sur place. Grazzie mille
Jun 27, 2019Gorgeous apartment, amazing location, terrific view from the terrace. Friendly and easy going host. I could often find Simona in the living room working which was very useful when I had questions and not so good when I wanted to use the only dinner table. The description of the room wasn’t accurate, because I found not 2 girls renting a room but a couple renting two rooms and I felt the apartment was crowded. It was noisy at night due to the active lifestyle of the apartment’s dwellers.
Jun 27, 2019I stayed with Simona for a week and had the most fantastic experience! She was so welcoming and hospitable, and the apartment is gorgeous. Simona was always making sure I had everything I needed, provided me with a map, phrase book, pointing out great bars and shopping districts. Staying with her made my trip so much more enjoyable!
Jul 27, 2019This is a great place! The location is fantastic - within walking distance of the Ramblas - and the apartment was clean and as advertised (and the balcony over looking poble sec is a wonderful thing to wake up to!). Simona is a very warm-hearted, knowledgeable, attentive host who is very easy to get along with; she definitely made my stay in Barcelona more enjoyable. She is very familiar with the city and gave me great restaurant recommendations and suggestions for possible day trips. She was always available if I had any questions or concerns, and kept me abreast of any changes. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Barcelona! If you are considering a few places, look no further! This is a great apartment with a fantastic host! Thanks, Simona!
Jun 27, 2019Charming and well located flat. Very kind host, unfortunately I was very much in and out however I was made to feel very welcome.
Jun 27, 2019I loved staying at Simona's! She is just awesome, and the place is very well located and comfortable. It's very close to a metro station, and the Barcelona metro is easy to use. But it's also not a long walk to many major attractions. The neighbourhood had good restaurants and bars, and Simona gives great recommendations too, and might even take you out. She is so helpful and trustworthy and just really a gentle soul. I would absolutely stay here again. When I was staying there, a couple was renting another room, so it was really fun making friends with them and Simona. It's a very active house, so if really quiet and private is what you're looking for, this probably isn't it. But if you'd like a great experience with locals and other travellers, definitely book with Simona!
Jun 27, 2019The house is great, clean and really well located (5 minutes walking to the Rambla), with an amazing terrace where you can have breakfast. Simona is perfect, easy going and always available to help. She is smiling and nice at any time, but also give you 100% of your privacy if you want it. Grazie Simona!! Hope to see you again :)
Jun 27, 2019Simona's apartment is in a perfect location in the city centre. It's a 15 minute walk to the beach and less than 10 minutes to La Ramblas. The facilities are so good, a solid power shower and a really great living area and kitchen. There's also a nice terrace outside the room I stayed in, perfect for a morning coffee. I can't fault the place. Joe, Ireland.
Jun 27, 2019Simona, her boyfriend Ben and her friend Caterina were marvelous hosts. Simona wasn't in Barcelona when I arrived, but Ben kindly waited at her apartment to let me in, even though I arrived over an hour delayed. The room I rented is small and a bit hot, but Simona provides a sturdy fan and the room is quite nice. The terrace is beautiful. While I did not interact much with Ben, he was very pleasant, and Simona and Caterina are vivacious and fun-loving people. Caterina took me to one of the "barrio" or neighborhood parties, and Simona both offered to take me out with her friends and gave me great suggestions for restaurants.
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jun 27, 2019First time in Barcelona and so happy that my host was Simona. She was so friendly, warming, caring that I had a feeling she's my friend for years! The room is so cute, the terrace and view so beautiful that you just wish to stay there for hours! Much prettier than on the photo... Most of the time I've spend sightseeing Barcelona and one night Simona and her friend Caterina took me out and we had so much fun! She was always there to help me and give me tips about the metro or places in that magic town. And my last night we spend on the beautiful terrace, had great conversation while drinking vine - and I felt like home thanks to her. One thing is for sure - she became a friend of mine and I'll keep on coming back to her charming, warm place! Barcelona & Simona - see you soon and thanks for everything!
Jun 27, 2019Simona is truly the most welcoming host I have had using airbnb! Her place is great. The location is very close to the metro and the room was exactly like the pictures. The terrace is great!
Jun 27, 2019Good overall experience with airbnb.
Jun 27, 2019un esperienza meravigliosa con una grande Host. Disponibile, carina, sempre pronta a dare informazioni e consigli. La suggerisco a chiunque.
Jun 27, 2019The best location, magical terrace and very good vibes penthouse for a authentic Barcelona experience! Highly recomended
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic location and surrounding and amazing host! Very clean! Thanks Simona
Jun 27, 2019I enjoyed staying at Simona's place very much. She welcomed me warmly and gave me usefull information about the city. The appartment is really nice and everything was perfectly clean. I also liked the location very much. I would always stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019War alles wie geplant alles super gelaufen
Jun 27, 2019The accommodation corresponded 100% to the discription. Nice reception, valuable advice including city maps and really beautiful area.
Jun 27, 2019Simona is one of the friendliest people I've ever met, and ever the gracious host! The room was absolutely lovely, and definitely perfect for one person traveling. The view from the balcony was also astounding. I'd recommend this room to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Barcelona.
Jun 27, 2019Simona was a great host. She had a lot of helpful tips for things to do and places to see. The flat was comfortable and I had access to the kitchen if I wanted to make something. The best part was the private entrance to the terrace where you had a nice view of the neighborhood skyline. Also, the location is great. I would stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Simona's home was wonderful! Great location with a fabulous back deck. Very friendly neighborhood with easy walking access all around the city. While Simona was not able to be there during my stay, she was very accommodating and made sure I was comfortable and was able to talk when/if I needed her!
Jun 27, 2019Simona was an absolutely wonderful hostess, as open and caring as any can be.
Jun 27, 2019Simonas place was perfect. I really enjoyed staying there. She is a very warm, open and friendly person and made me feel home. Even my booking was super short notice, everything worked out very well. The location is perfect, the room nice and the terrasse lovely. The whole place has a very homy and comfortable flair. I would definitly like to go back.
Jun 27, 2019I'm very happy with the stay. I got informed well about everything nessesary. The flat was lovely bright and clean. As described access to the big terrass and very great location, close to the center but also the area itself has lots of cozy local cafes etc. I would recommend Simonas flat.
Jun 27, 2019My favorite stay so far, great location, fantastic terrace and friendly (Hidden by Airbnb) . Simone even invited me to join dinner with her friends and she is a fantastic cook! :) Going to stay there again :)
Jun 27, 2019Simona was very friendly and welcoming, her flat is even nicer than in the pictures, room was comfortable and clean, and terrace is also lovely. The location is perfect, walking distance from main attractions, restaurants, bars.... In general a great place to stay if you are looking for a real Barcelona experience :)
Jun 27, 2019Me gusto su sobre ático, las fotografías no le hacen justicia, ella siempre fue muy amable y me dio muy buenos consejos de que hacer y a donde ir. Sin duda alguna volveria a ir.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful apartment. Very comfortable room and extremely clean. Simona made me feel right at home from the start. Such an amazing person! Also very knowledgeable about the city and will give you advice on whatever your preferred activities are. The apt is close to everything and in a perfect location. I definitely recommend this gem!
Jun 27, 2019Simona and her place are both amazing! Such a cozy little nest, and that terrace off the room is to die for. Everything was clean and cheerfully decorated, and meeting Simona herself felt just like seeing an old friend. She really took her time to make recommendations around the city. When I mentioned I was thinking about getting a massage after tweaking my back and ankle, she arranged for an appointment with a friend (a professional, obvs) at a great rate. I also found the location very convenient- the neighborhood was interesting and charming, with a ton of delicious food options nearby, and was a quick trot down to La Rambla. I'd stay with Simona again in a heartbeat.
Jun 27, 2019I simply loved staying with Simona! The apartment is really easy to find, conveniently located and looks exactly as it does in the photos. Simona is an excellent host, very welcoming and really knowledgable about the city. You will not find a better place to stay in Barcelona for this price. I highly recommend staying here if you visit Barcelona.
Jun 27, 2019Hey there! My stay at Simona's was simply magnificent. It was easy to find the flat, the neighbourhood is great, and close to everything without being crowded by silly tourists. From the moment I said hello to Simona, and got the introduction to the flat, and an amazing amount of information and recommendations to what to do on my stay, it felt like I was a roommate and not an airbnb guest. Simona is simply great, open, sociable, helpful, openminded and overall the best host you can find by a longshot in my experience, only good things to say. When it comes to the flat itself (I lived in the single room), it's great, it has a chill vibe to it, great terrace, great view, very clean, artistic deciration, and everything worked as it should, again there is not a bad thing to say. It felt luxurious for the price, and I would recommend Simona and her flat, so if you are considering to stay, consider no more, and click that "Book now" button. It goes without saying that you will get the perfect Barcelona experience from this location, best host ever, and overall lovely flat. 10/10 would book again, again and again :-D - Henrik (From Denmark)
Jun 27, 2019Simona is a wonderful host. From the very beginning I had a feeling that I am staying at my friend's home. We didn't have much time to talk (I was always somewhere in the city) but when we met each other she tried her best to give me any information and help concerning my stay. Thank you! I hope to come back:)
Jun 27, 2019I would highly recommend this place when visiting Barcelona. It is an ideal location for anyone who wants close accessibility to the Ramblas/Placa de Catalunya, and El Raval/Gothic quarters, yet still be able to enjoy the local life here in Barcelona. As well, it is very well situated near the metro and bus station. Simona as a host is very warm and welcoming making both her place and Barcelona a great place to vacation.
Jun 27, 2019I spend 3 nights at Simonas apartament and I will definitely come back! Simona is such a nice and helpful host, what made my stay really amazing. The room and especially the huge terrace with a great view over the city were incredible. The total flat is really clean, nice decorated and really great located! Simona, thank you for the great time!
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jun 27, 2019으음, 첫 날 메트로를 타고 예정시간보단 늦게 도착했습니다 짬짬히 변경 메세지를 했습니다 시설과 룰 설명을 하는데 친절하긴 한데 숨을 몰아쉬며 피곤해하더군요... 다른 룰이 또 있냐 물었더니 문단속만 잘하면 된다더군요 다음날 아침, 드럼세탁기를 쓰려는데 호스트가 아직 깨어있지 않은 관계로 사용방법을 몰라 임의대로 사용했는데 깨어나서 보고는 잘못된 버튼 누르고 사용했는지 "넌 모든 전자기기를 내게 묻지 않고는 사용할 수 없다"라고 두세번 언성 높여말하고는 화를 내더군요........이게 무슨 좀 더 좋게 말할수도 있었을텐데 제가 무슨 이사람 자식도 아니고(...) 이때부터 기분이 상했는데, 컵을 씻고 있으려니 또 주방세제 썼는지 안 썼는지 체크하더군요.... 여기서 끝나지 않고 마지막밤에 피곤해 저녁 6시쯤 돌아와 한숨 자고 분수쇼를 보러 돌아왔더니, 호스트가 남자친구와 크게 음악을 틀어두고 시끄럽게 있더군요 인기척을 했더니 미안하다며 볼륨 줄이겠다더니 그대로였고 그 남자친구는 하루종일 팬티바람였습니다 마냥 편하진 않지요.. 여러모로 불쾌했던 관계로 바르셀로나에서의 기억이 반은 나빠요 별 두 개도 아깝습니다 내가 왜 돈 쓰면서 이런델 묵었는지......... 비추합니다
Jun 27, 2019Logement conforme à la description et très bien placé. Simona n'était pas là pendant mon séjour mais tout a été fait pour m'accueillir au mieux. Super séjour. Rendez-vous une prochaine fois pour pouvoir se rencontrer !
Jun 27, 2019Sehr schönes Zimmer mit Terrasse und tollem Blick über Barcelona in super Lage, das meiste ist zu Fuß erreichbar und zwei Metro-Linien sorgen dafür, dass man auch schnell in den entfernteren Ecken der Stadt ist. Simona ist eine sehr herzliche Gastgeberin, bei der man sich einfach wohlfühlt. :-)
Jun 27, 2019A unique apartment positioned in a convenient location. The place has so much character and feels very bright and airy. The rooftop terrace is a joy to have breakfast on in the morning with an awesome sunrise and sunset to take in. There are plenty of shops and cafes within walking distance and a gym right round the corner. Simone is a very attentive and helpful host who you feel instantly comfortable around.
Jun 27, 2019I spent 2 weeks at Simona's apartment and had a great time throughout my entire stay. The communication was perfect from the moment I booked the room. Simona called me to make sure I had all the information I needed and to confirm the time of my arrival (which was quite late). However, she welcomed me warmly, showed me around the apartment and gave me advice on grocery shopping (there is a good supermarket 100 meters away), sightseeing and so forth. The apartment was always very clean and the atmosphere friendly. I had my personal shelves in the kitchen as well as in the fridge and was always able to use a the kitchen. It's definitely possible to chat to Simona when she is around but if you prefer your privacy you can close your door and no-one will bother you. A big plus is the access to a private corner of the terrace from the room itself. It's sunny there in morning which is just perfect for having breakfast outside. Also, the apartment is in walking distance to the centre (10 min) as well as the beach (30 min) or if you prefer, it's just a short metro ride away. Overall, I was more than happy with my choice and would recommend Simona's apartment 100%!
Jun 27, 2019Stayed in the single room which has direct access to the most amazing rooftop terrace. Perfect for morning coffee, and sunset drinks. Simona was such a great host and gave me great food and wine recommendations. Great neighbourhood close to Apolo nightclub and lots of great local tapas joints. Super close walk to Metro. A wonderful week in Barcelona was made better by staying here. Highly recommend this room for solo travellers. Apartment also has a double room with access to its own private terrace.
Jun 27, 2019Simona's apartment is a dreamy bohemian bungalow. I very much enjoyed sitting with a glass of wine or coffee on the terrace overlooking the Barcelona sky. Every night there was a beautiful sunset. Simona was the perfect host. She gave me a list of great live music venues and we even went out together one night! She was communicative and such a joy to talk to! I will definitely return.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent terrace! Excellent location. Very clean. Simona is a great host.
Jun 27, 2019Simona was wonderful to stay with and I would come back again. This was my first real experience with Airbnb and it exceeded my expectations. She was so accommodating, helped me with transportation, directions, and top places to see or go. She wasn't home the day I flew in but she even made special plans for her friend to meet me at the metro to walk me to her flat! I had a wonderful time and a lot of that was due to Simona and her place.
Jun 27, 2019My first Airbnb experience and it was great. It was nice with a good view of the city from the balcony. Simona was very nice and you could come and go as you pleased.
Jun 27, 2019Top Lage, super Erreichbarkeit mit der Metro, ich hab mich auch als allein reisende Frau immer sicher gefühlt. Saubere und wohnliche Unterkunft, tolles Bad. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, die mit Tipps und Rat immer zur Seite stand. Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.
Jun 27, 2019Eine Wohnung in perfekter Lage mit einer sehr sympathischen und herzlichen Gastgeberin. Das Zimmer war für eine Person ausreichend und mit allen wichtigen Dingen ausgestattet. Besonders gefallen hat mir der eigene Terrassenbereich der direkt vom Zimmer aus zugänglich war.
Jun 27, 2019Ich habe den Aufenthalt bei Simona sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist super gut gelegen, nur wenige Meter von der Metro-Station "El Paral-el" entfernt. Besonders gefallen hat mir der direkte Zugang zur chilligen Dachterrasse von meinem Zimmer aus. Simona selbst war in der Zeit meines Aufenthalts leider nicht anwesend, sie war aber trotzdem jederzeit für mich erreichbar, was ich sehr zu schätzen wusste.
Jun 27, 2019Simona's place is really unique. You get your own space on a terrace that over looks the city, it's so beautiful especially at sunset. Simona is really friendly and gives you a map and run down of the whole city. She was very helpful helping me figure out all the places I should go. Really cool apartment, I highly recommend!
Jun 27, 2019I genuinely enjoyed staying at Simona’s place. The kitchen has everything you need and the supermarket is just a few steps away. It’s also very close to the metro station AND the funicular up to Montjuic, a beautiful park. Simona is a great host and is super friendly. The terrace is where I enjoyed coffee everyday.
Jun 27, 2019very open and humane host yet respectful of the guest's privacy
Jun 27, 2019All the other reviews were accurate...I had a great experience staying with Simona.
