Steps away from everything you need and yet peacful with the rooftop views. Initially with check it it was a bit confusing, but the host was readily available and was able to explain things to help get settled especially with a car.

Short stay in Barcelona
This property was ideally located in an area close to what's happening. It is small, but worked especially for a shorter stay where you don't plan to spend a lot of time in your apartment. We had a couple of issues, the biggest being that the shower stall doors weren't properly sealed and thus leaked water all over the bathroom floor; the other issue is that the linens supplied for showering were scarce (2 towels and 2 hand towels, no wash cloths and no extras). Ola living was decent to work with, but didn't keep us informed on the apartment readiness.

The Real Deal
Smack in the middle of El Born, a block from Santa Maria del Mar Cathedral and surrounded by a warren of authentic tapas bars, boutique retail and artisan craft shops made for exploring. I happened to be here for work but enjoyed the surroundings nonetheless and everything that Ola Living promised they delivered. This is a cozy studio which was clean, well presented and was perfect for what I needed. The check-in staff were fantastic and I would definitely recommend using Ola Living for your next Barca stay.

Absolutely Perfect
The neighbourhood was incredible, right in the action, but still relatively quiet. Right next to the main train station from the airport too. I thought the place would feel smaller but it was super well layed out. Check in was super easy, the app is used as the key. Would definetely recommend to anyone!

Emplacement idéal pour les visites
Attente globale de 2h dans la rue avant de rentrer, pour plusieurs raisons :
- nous n'avons pas reçu un mail envoyé 1 semaine avant
- le système d'ouverture digital par Bluetooth ne fonctionnait pas
- finalement, des clés matérialisées nous ont été apportées.
- très mauvaise communication, système informatique défaillant
- pas d'accueil !
