So, the service is very good. As far as I know, they do shuttle services too because i have seen more than once their rep's at the airport, but i normally don't need their service because I order a taxi anytime. I can recommend this transfer system too because it is very easy to book through their web site... enter and have a look if you need a transfer!!! believe me!!!!!! :-)

Learn to make Spanish food. And then eat it. Sound good?…read more This one-hour culinary course is run by two sisters, Carmen and Angeles. Carmen was our host for the day, and she was such a pleasure to learn from. She was so warm and knowledgeable, and her passion for cooking was contagious! The wife and I joined 5 others in learning how to make sangria, paella and crema catalana. We all prepared a different part of the meal, got our turn in cooking the paella, and finished off our own crema catalana dish with a blowtorch. Afterwards, our group partook in the delicious meal as we learned more from Carmen about Catalan culture. And after our class, she emailed us the recipes for the food we made, plus recommendations for places in Girona, a lovely town that the wife and I would visit a few days later. We booked this course through Airbnb Experiences, and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona!

(Took the 2.5 hour cooking class found on airbnb)…read more Angeles was exactly the warm aunt you wanted to learn how to cook from as a child! I'm not sure where Angeles has the energy to make every class of students feel welcomed in the warmest possible way, but after 700+ positive reviews (at time of writing) you will still come away with feeling like this is 100% a labor of love and that she truly loves meeting travelers and teaching them the art of enjoying good paella. There was just the right amount of cooking, eating, and socializing to make this an exceptionally memorable food experience. You're might not drastically improve your knifework or spend too much time in front of the paella pan, but what you will see is how to cook a paella dish properly, learn about the importance of certain ingredients and timing, and touch on the nuances of spanish food culture and the regional cuisine as well. I would say half the cooking is done by the instructor - and most of the ingredients are already prepared by the time you walk in - but this is great because the quality of the paella in the end is guaranteed to be masterful. You'll also learn to make the catalan cream dessert and damn-good sangria too. There's no need to take notes either, as Angeles sends you the recipe afterwards! Angeles herself was a professional cook, a personal chef to members of high society, and was just great company throughout our time together. She's more than happy to give recommendations or help you plan your time in Barcelona and greater Catalonia!

Yuk, I did not like this hostel. The hostel and not the Apartment rentals were only one floor with…read more3-4 rooms of about 8 people each. Definitely a smaller hostel itself. Location: located right next to the cathedral and walking distant to las rambas and the aero bus. Central location and fairly closed to the downtown area. Hostel-Rooms were decent sizes. A female and male bathroom (which I didn't know because when I came it was late and I didn't see the picture of a guy on the guys bathroom and used the guys bathroom during my whole stay there! And finally saw it on the last day...was wondering why I saw no girls using this one...) hahaha. There was no curfew so you get drunk people walking in a 3am! The doors were weird and nobody ever locked it. Wifi only works in dining and lounging area. Breakfast was your typical cereal and bread thing. They lock up the lounging area after a certain time. I had a towel that was smaller than most and it looked like a hand towel, they took it by mistake and took them he next day to find it when it was just in their dirty laundry basket! I was mad! They didn't even offer me another towel to shower or anything. I hung the towel in the room and try just took it. I finally got it back all wet still and she was like we can wash it for it, it was effing late and I was leaving the next day! Had to pack. But when they were looking for it they kept saying oh were washing it right now, turned out to be in their dirty laundry basket. So irritated. I did not like this hostel. It was okay, small, and iono something about it...

Itaca is a great hostel in the middle of everything in Barcelona. It is literally a 30 second walk…read morefrom the Catedral and some great restaurants and shopping, and a 5 minute walk to the main street by the water and a really cool shot bar! The staff was really friendly and helpful in telling us places to eat and watch futball. We stayed in a 8 person dorm room which felt comfortable and cozy. There's no curfew or lock out time or anything, so we were able to nap during the day and stay out at night! I've heard about a few bigger party hostels like Kabul, which might have been more fun and conducive to meeting other young people, but I had no problems with Itaca in terms of a place to stay. The bathrooms weren't the best, but they weren't the worst either. The only real problem was that the showers were operated by a button that you had to press every thirty seconds, or the water went off. I would absolutely stay here again if I were coming to Barcelona and recommend it to others.
