We were unfortunately disappointed with this Airbnb stay. The house itself is a lovely old building, with great outdoor spaces and lots of room to accommodate large groups inside. We liked the location as it was away from the busiest areas of Barcelona but very close to a subway station for easy access to the city. However, the property is in need of significant repairs and updates. When we arrived, we were told the washing machine was not working; it was not repaired/replaced during our stay, which was an inconvenience as we had planned on having laundry access when packing for our trip. We also found that the electrical wiring in the kitchen was faulty. We lost power in all of the kitchen outlets periodically and had to flip the breaker quite often to restore it. When we called this problem to the attention of our host, she claimed to have brought an electrician to the house who checked that all was working. However, when we returned to the house that evening, the power was out again (including the outlet servicing the refrigerator). Beyond these major repair issues, we found that the space was generally in need of renovations for cleanliness, guest comfort, and safety. We would recommend replacing stained upholstery and bedding, broken stairs at the property’s entrance, and numerous burned out lightbulbs. The two small air conditioning units (in two of the bedrooms) are nowhere near sufficient to combat the summer Barcelona heat/humidity. We were also afraid to make use of the rooftop patio in the evenings as we were told upon arrival that any noise would be reported by the neighbors and that the last two groups of guests had been reported to the police. While the host, Ewa, responded quickly to our inquiries, this listing is simply in need of some TLC to make it a comfortable place to stay (especially in the warmer months).
