We (me and my best friend) stayed at Liliya’s/Nadia & Taras place for a whole week in the beginning of July 2019.
Let me start off with all the great things this apartment has to offer. The apartment is located right near the beach, about a 5 mins walk, which was absolutely terrific. It’s also located right next to a lovely little shopping street, which has a supermarket, ATM and some small cafés. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need in order to make a nice breakfast, lunch or dinner, which we did a number of times. It also has a washing machine and dryer, which work perfectly and which we used on a couple of occasions. The living room has a Smart TV which has Netflix and YouTube on it, something we really appreciated. The bathroom is rather small but had an excellent shower. The WiFi worked perfectly at all times. I also want to note that the communication with the hosts was excellent, we called them as soon as we had landed and they waited for us when we arrived at the apartment.
The apartment itself is a bit smaller than we had expected, it was ideal for the 2 of us, but it could be uncomfortable if you’re traveling with more than 2 adults. Since the apartment has no AC, we were forced to leave the windows open at night, which made it somewhat cooler, but still pretty hot. It also gets pretty loud at night. As a result of the heat and noise, we had trouble falling asleep and sleeping at times. We also found a couple of dying cockroaches in the apartment during our stay, they seemed to be coming from outside during the night.
All things considered, we had a great stay and had the most amazing time in Barcelona.
