The place is very well located, close to La Rambla, close to Universitat metro Station, the host it was on time to met us before the check in time.
This place it was an alternative place because we already had our reservation in place for Barcelona done at least three months prior to arrival and was confirmed 24hrs after it was requested, one week before our trip to different countries and two weeks before arrival to Barcelona I received a message saying that reservation had to be canceled because the owner was going to use the unit herself, this makes no sense to me because I already had made plans and whether she needed it or not, was irrelevant to me because they already had compromised and committed to us, they said that I rather take where we are now or go somewhere else, at this point and time I had no other choice because it was already too late to star looking for a new place to stay when I had already done my homework three months prior to our trip.
Finally we accepted it, the pics did not look bad, I admit it, but this was false advertisement because the place was not what they said it was initially, one of the four people in our group has a condition and cannot walk up and down stairs for long periods of time, we counted the number of steps going up and they were 61 of them and supposed to be a 2nd floor, three and a half floors because the flight of stairs are longer here in Barcelona, the bathroom sink stone was broken in two pieces, and this was not a problem, the problem is that this piece of stone could drop and land on anyone's toes and easily do a significant damage, the shower had no curtain and water is all over the bathroom every time we take a shower, the hot water is not steady, is off and on during showers, the AC barely works and is only for the living room small area, this completely ruined our sleep because the rooms are very warm, if they say the place has AC is for all the place not for just a small area, they should have provided the exact info, fans were not even provided, we were never able to use the washer machine, door would not open, we tried several times to contact host via email but were not successful, except for one time that she said she'd send someone but it never happened.
Finally the neighbors screw up us, so noise and the all night 2 nights in a row.
