First, let's just get this out of the way: BED BUGS. Yes. We had the unlucky situation of having these years ago so I am aware of their behaviors and their effect on me, and we lost at the bug roulette wheel with this place. I couldn't find any evidence of where they were hiding out (but we were sleeping in the master bedroom), but the bites on my body that started showing up two days after arrival don't lie, I gave it a couple more days before I said anything to the rest of my family as I am a bit paranoid about these things and didn't want to freak anyone out, and by the time it was clear we only had a couple of days left. I didn't dig for physical evidence as I didn't want to spend the last days of my vacation doing that and the damage was done. It was the last place we stayed on our trip and I am now decontaminating all of our luggage. Truly awful.

We were staying here with our 1-1/2 year old son and his grandmother, hence needing 3 bedrooms. The place was plenty big enough, well appointed and and in a great location (half way between Gracia and El Born/Gotic), easy to get cabs, but it was obvious that is was often used as a party flop house as there were enough beds and couches to sleep an entire bachelorette group. Many travelers through this place means bugs are more likely.

It was also not super clean. The bedding and bathrooms were fine, but it was dusty under furniture (we had to move some to retrieve toys), and when I was poking around looking for bug evidence, the cracks of the couch made it obvious the cleaning staff don't own a crevasse tool -- gross.

There were notices everywhere about not making noise, which also tipped us off that it was used for big groups. In fact there was a strobe light on top of the fridge that would flash red if too much noise was being made -- IE moving a chair across the floor.

Check in was easy, digital codes were great instead of keys. We had a greeter come by shortly after arrival.

One final gripe was the Wifi (we were given a list of 8? logins to try) was intermittent at best, and non-functional at worst. BYO-Mifi if you need reliable internet.
