The biggest red flag was when I got an email a couple of days before stating the elevator was broken down. We had to carry 12 suitcases up 4 stories of narrow stairs. The apartment was nice. Nice decor. Polite check in. Don't use laundry. It is on ground floor and even following the instructions the dryer does not dry clothes. Going up those stairs was not short of a horror film. My friend had just had surgury so for her going up and down stairs was horrible. True to their word they did have the elevator up and running before we left. I feel like they should have offered some sort of compensation due to the elevator not working as it was no small feat going up and down those stairs. Would have not booked this place had I known the elevator situation. I understand it may have been out of their control but then they need to offer compensation to their guests not shrug it off like no big deal. Nonetheless love Barcelona and not even a unoperational elevator can take tha away from me. Also all interactions with host were otherwise pleasant.
