The photos are an accurate representation of the apartment. The best part of the apartment is the location (close walking distance to restaurants and tourist areas). It was not easy finding a four bedroom apartment for two families, and this one ticked off our requirements of a central location, clean space, with four bedrooms/two baths. Proximity to tourist sites in a major city also means traffic and noise. The living room is situated off a busy street and early morning traffic noise. The bedrooms were quiet at night. During the day, however, there was constant jack hammering and power tool noise from 8 am to 6pm due to construction nearby and in the building. Fortunately, we were in Barcelona to enjoy the sites and did not spend much time in the apartment during the day. Note: The floors are laminate not wood and are showing some wear and tear as are the bathrooms. This can not be seen in photos.
Albert was exceptionally professional. Some of the amenities included in the listing were not in the apartment; and Albert responded to texts promptly and provided the items quickly, once asked. There are numerous small grocery stores in the area for basics- milk/cereal etc. Albert called a few restaurants for us, and arranged for very early transportation to the airport on our departure. He is an asset to the management.
The entrance to the apartment is up several sets of stairs in a rather dilapidated entry. Work was being done to this area while we were there. Albert said an elevator was going in at some point, but until then the stairs may be an issue for some renters. This was not an issue for us, but the condition of the entry could be improved upon.
Our two families have stayed in many VRBO/Airbnb properties in Europe. The management (Albert) and location of this apartment contributed to an easy and enjoyable stay in Barcelona.
