We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eike's place. Thank you Eike and David. Below is the detailed review of the place... Pre Arrival: Eric is proactive in confirming, emailing details of check-in, sharing Barcelona guide etc. Checkin: David let us into the apartment within 5 minutes of us reaching the place. Nice of him to allow us to keep our luggage and use the place before scheduled time of 5pm. He showed us how to use stove, wifi, washing machine etc. There was no stove lighter or match box but on asking David he left his cigarette lighter for us to use. There were no toiletries and salt/pepper but on asking shampoo and shower gel were promptly delivered (which we used little and left the remaining in the apartment along with salt and pepper dispensers). In fact in some other countries such as Netherlands the refrigerator comes well stocked but in Spain we found the opposite. There was some issue with water heater but David sorted it. One of the stove burners was not working for which a technician was sent the same day. The remaining bit about washing machine detergent and dryer we tried to understand from the lady cleaning the apartment. She was helpful and pleasant though she could only speak and understand Spanish. Apartment is on 5th floor at the back of the building so the view is of back of some other apartment buildings, not very inspiring. Good part, there was an elevator, old and quaint, but worked well. Location: excellent location, right on Rambla Catalyna road, close to the main attractions. Diagonal metro station 5 minute walk, tons of very good eating places nearby, lots of good shopping places. Easy to locate place. Supermarkets close by, one 3 blocks away right next to Avis shop. Taxi hire companies such as sixt, avis within 5-10 min walking distance. Utility balcony: Convenient utility balcony with washer, dryer, place for drying wet clothes. No clothes pegs were there but on asking a packet was promptly delivered. The utility balcony is open so everything lying there is dusty –baby chair, fans, small folding cot, floor cleaner etc. Kitchen: Kitchenette (attached to living room) comes with a 4 burner stove, dish washer, cooking utensils and crockery, cutlery, soap, garbage bags etc. A missing pan for making omelette and half fried egg was sorely missed. We had to make do with scrambled eggs all 4 days. Wish the stove had auto ignition…every time we had to light the stove. No electric kettle, but we found a stove kettle in one of the cupboards which came in handy. Though it was functioning but the refrigerator needs repair …there was water condensation on the insides. Bigger bedroom is decent size with 2 good cupboards with shelves, hangers, drawers, though one of the cupboards also stocks the vacuum cleaner, fan and some white plastic pieces which makes that cupboard messy and dusty. Decent size bathroom. However bathroom did not have a single peg to...
