Let me start by saying we were under duress when we booked this place and didn't thoroughly look at the pics and reviews. When we arrived and exited our taxi, we noticed the steep hill of steps we had to go up to get to the front door. It takes 117 steps to reach the front door so you know that workout routine you've been putting off, you have no choice but to start it if you stay here. Once we finally reached the front door, it opened to a kitchen & narrow walkway to the dining room that had 2 chairs and a stool big enough for a toy poodle. The living room had a heavily soiled couch and a TV with no remote. We put on gloves to dig through the couch in search of the remote but never found it. I contacted the host and was told to manually turn it on. Up the stairs we went to see which room was the master but all 4 rooms were the same. Nothing special but a full size bed and air conditioner. You must go up another set of stairs to get to the additional 2 bedrooms (as if the 117 stairs outside weren't enough). More stairs to get to the terrace that has an amazing view of the city but there's absolutely nothing else amazing about this place. When we went back to the kitchen we noticed an infestation of ants on the counters, under the sink, on the kitchen floor and even in the bathrooms. There were ants everywhere I was afraid to leave my suitcase on the floor. We hadn't brought food to the home yet so this was a prior issue even though the host told me he was not aware. My cousin looked at reviews fromm the past few months and found one noting the ant infestation. We come to Europe twice a year and have never had such an awful experience as this! I couldn't sleep worried about the ants, couldn't watch TV and relax on a soiled sofa and no remote. This place is not cozy nor inviting, its not close to any shopping or sightseeing. It's an AirBnb in "The Hood"! If this place was free I would not stay here again. I could not enjoy Barcelona knowing I had to come back to this place at the end of the day. The positives were the host was great at communicating, no ants in the bedrooms, the bathrooms were ok once we killed the ants, and we got to leave after 3 nights! Look to stay anywhere BUT here. I forgot to mention there's quite a bit of decay on the walls throught the home.
