Barcelona is #2 worldwide on misterb&b, and I think the reason is not just the city - it is Circuit Festival. August is the peak month by a significant margin, driven by the world's largest gay party, which fills every gay BnB in the Eixample for a week and a half every summer. The hosts on misterb&b here are part of a community that has built one of the most open and visible LGBTQ+ scenes in Europe. Gay BnBs in Barcelona start from around $108 per night.
