The location for this apartment is superb! It is walking distance to pretty much everything you would want to see or do in the heart of the city, and if not, you can pretty much throw a rock at the metro/regional train stop from the apartment.
We have to give a shout out to Xavier for letting us check-in super early (due to an early flight arrival)! This was soooo nice!
There is also an extensive booklet in multiple languages in case you need any recommendations on where to go, eat or drink in the city. There were also nice touches like earplugs, extra toilet paper, and Nespresso pods as a welcome gift. I appreciated all the clearly marked and designated spaces for each room in the kitchen and bathroom. There were spots in the refrigerator, cabinets, and shelves to keep your stuff.
No issues with door locks (we've had these issues with other Spanish airbnb apartments).
Since this is a shared apartment, where Xavier and Victoria live too, guests should pay attention to the quiet hours and factor this into decision making. Some other reviews complained of noise from the street, but my husband and I had no issue with the help of the provided ear plugs. I did notice that the walls are extremely thin, so it is very easy to hear people in other rooms/apartments.
We were in Room #1 with a beautiful view and sunlight, which we were told is the best room in the apartment. The bed is comfortable and comparable to a full/queen by USA standards.
Also, because this is a shared space there is only 1 bathroom with a shower, which may be a consideration for guests, especially during busy months when the place could be full with 8-10 adults and only 1.5 bathrooms.
I also noted that the apartment was not cleaned everyday, so unless everyone is diligent about keeping shared spaced clean this could be an issue for some people.
Overall, a very positive experience.
