The location of the property is great, 2 blocks away from La Sagrada Familia and super central to the rest of the best tourist attractions Barcelona has to offer. The property was fine, although for the price cEU 820 for 4 nights including the tourist tax of cEU 5 per day per person I found that the following aspects could be improved:
- On entering the property there's a strong smell of cigarette smoke predominantly in the living room and the front bedroom. This is even though it appears the property is non smoking throughout
-The AC arrangements could really do with a replacement. There's only an AC machine in the front room which has seen better days. The front bedroom was furnished with what can only be described as a temperamental, noisy, clattering fan from the 1980s. Not ideal when the temperature at night was close to 28 degrees. The other 2 bedrooms had ceiling fans which looked relatively modern but not efficient enough.
-The main bathroom was OK, although the shower door could do with repairing given that it doesn't close properly and it makes quite a mess.
However, Joan was a fantastic, very, very, helpful host, he went out if his way to make great suggestions for us and was very responsive especially when we first arrived. Thank you Joan.
