I have mix-feelings about my stay at Karla’s place.
Pro’s : First of all she was very welcoming and allowed me to put my luggage and bags into the apartment before the check-in time. The apartment is very very well located, you can easily reach anything by bus and if you’re a walker, anything is easily accessible with more or less a 25-30 minutes walk.
Con’s : Unfortunately, this is where the pro’s stops for me. Karla’s place is not as presented in the announce : yes you will sleep in a room with 4 more people BUT THERE IS SEVERAL MORE ROOM in the apartment and ONLY ONE BATHROOM. This was a bit of an issue because we were at least 15 people staying in the apartment and sharing the ONE bathroom (aka almost every time i wanted to go pee there was someone in the shower).
Also, we were 5 people in the room but there was only two plugs to charge our phone (for me it’s my alarm so I have to sleep next to it and cannot charge it in the corridor outside the room) and only two main lights, no possibility of having a light without bothering everyone else. The last thing that bothered me was that it was impossible to open the windows (and anyway it’s so noisy that I wouldn’t recommend it) and we had to close the doors of the room because of the other people in the apartment. This meant of having five people in a small room without any fresh air (no ventilation either) in the middle of Barcelona’s summer... not ideal.
All in all, yes the terrasse was beautiful, the location is great and Karla is a good host but I would still not stay here again.
