The place was great. Hosted by Sweet Inn so more like a hotel experience crossed with AirBnB; the service is really professional but I wonder if the price tag goes more to paying their overheads and branded 'stuff' everywhere than the maintenance of the apartment. The place was fine but a couple of things made it not worth the price: the bathroom door has a glass panel missing making the door see-through. Was fine for us a just a couple but for others it would mean people seeing you on the toilet or in the shower, or having to move every time someone wanted to use the bathroom if you are using the kitchen or breakfast bar. The bedroom also has a glass panel missing, again not a massive problem for us, but if you wanted privacy.. then well you can't cos there's a window into the bedroom. Also the hot water situation is poor - typical for Spain to have electric boilers but you can only get scalding-hot water for about 2-3 minutes and then it goes cold. This really isn't good enough for the price tag. On the plus side the place is decorated really well, great design features and attention to some details. Washing machine was so useful for us and great to have a kettle and kitchen with pots pans, etc. The sofas look awesome but actually not that comfy to sit on and the TV is tiny and set really low on the wall so it's not very functional.
The area is really nice, not too touristy and close to sagrada familia and metro stations.
