Overall it was a great location and great for little kids (5 & 3). We loved having the elevator and a supermarket next door. The apartment was comfortable and had what we needed (the other reviews are correct and there are no extras, like blankets in the pictures) We would have loved under the beds cleaned a bit more at there were a bunch of dust bunnies. Also, please be warned there is a bunch of construction across the street and next door. It was bit disappointing to have so much construction and not be able to use the balcony as much as we would have liked, particularly for the price. However, the location is top notch and we loved all the restaurants around us and the easy access to the metro.
Awesome location, very walkable with lots of food and entertainment options near by. Space was clean however lacked the touches shown in the photos (no plants, rugs, coziness etc) it felt a little cold. Host could provide more toilet paper, paper towel, coffee given the price of the unit (we had to purchase all of these during our stay).
Overall the location made the stay worthwhile!
We stayed in Barcelona early July and loved the apartment and location. The air conditioning stayed very cool, communication with the property management was very quick and responsive, and the location couldnât be better. We had a noise issue with some other guests around midnight on our last night drinking and be loud in the hallway outside our door. I messaged management and they took care of it right away. My only gripes were the fact that there were only 1 pillow for each of the twin beds, I wish there was an extra loveseat or chair in the living room, and the rooms didnât have any place to put our luggage, so we had to leave a couple bags in the living room, but those are not-picky. Would definitely stay here again.
