Our stay in Barcelona was absolutly great as our vacation vibe helped alot overcome how we felt about the accomodation.
The location is good and this is what we wanted.
As per the value for what we actually found, is extremly disproportionate. The apartment is nothing like the pictures, it is old and messy, the furniture and bathroom need serious repairs. The cabinets are see through and we could see the mess and the junks inside, so not a nice view.
The beds are very important when you are in this industry and in this case we barely slept, as they are all improvised. In the master bedroom, a squicky metal structure was put a matress on. We woke up at every move as per the tremendous noise they are making. The living room with the sofa had a layer of windows missing and we felt like we were right in the intersection, so with earplugs and we could still hear the huge noise of one of the bussiest street in Barcelona. So definetly no sleep that night.
We requested a baby crib that was not there when we arrived and they had no idea it was on top of the closed, full of dust, as we discovered by mistake a few hours later.
They improvised a bedroom from a tiny tiny dressing of some kind, you could barely close the door there and no way as an adult you can stay there without thinking you will suffocate. We wanted to have the baby crib there so we put asside the improvised bed and installed the crib there. Also we had to move the couch into the bedroom because of the street noise and the squicking of the bed from the bedroom.
They provided 3 tiny hotel shower gels and told us they do not provide the shower gel when we asked for more.
