We rented this apartment for our summer holidays in Barcelona for our family of 5 with a discount since it was a first time Airbnb rental with no reviews and had been told it had been remodeled and everything was new so we took the plunge. We arrived in mid July during a heat wave and the host's sin was waiting for us at the door to help us out with the luggage which was super sweet.
This apartment is centrally located and we'll communicated in the city. That being said, the street is LOUD: day and night you can hear other people's tvs, radios, etc, etc, etc and also loud parties at night + garbage or dumpster trucks in the early am. Also beware of smells: all types of world cuisines running through the building anytime, plus funky smells down on the street itself which is very dirty (several bars right around the corner and people peeing, etc).
The apartment is an attic on the third floor by stairs with no elevator when ch means it is very very hard on a family with little kids, especially during the summertime.
The apartment is very charming and very clean, but it is not weather proved at all and as such is literally like an oven since it only has one portable AC unit that barely freshens the dining area while it's on on full power. We reached out to the host but had very little response from her and I had to receive medical attention because of the extreme weather conditions in this property. We reached out to Airbnb and they helped us come to a resolution.
The apartment was extremely clean and the furniture is all new (Ikea) which was very nice, although the towels were old and rough. The shower is hanging down and doesn't serve it's purpose and there are some outlets that are hanging out from the walls.
The wifi is almost inexistent. It barely works, meaning you have to wait 1 or two minutes just to open an email.
The nicest part of the apartment is the terrace, although it could be cleaner and better prepared, but at least there you can breathe some fresh air!
Overall I would say that this apartment is appealing to young people that want to have fun in Barcelona and do not care about heat, noises, odors and rough details (including almost lack of wifi).
