Overpriced and claustrophobic place at ‘Georgio’
We stayed one week at ”Giorgio” (seemingly a company, not a person) – a small flat with a small kitchenette (no oven) with one bedroom (no windows) and a living room/bedroom in one. And the smallest bath/wc ever. No air condition (our mistake) – but one small fan, on noicy, one entirely inefficient and one fan so noisy that we couldn’t use it. Not possible to make a draft in the apartment since 1) the kitchen window faced a literal dump/ shaft (try not to look if you can!), and 2) there is so much noise from the street 24h that you cannot sleep with the balcony door open. By the way, don’t imagine that you can set 2 people having a romantic dinner at the balcony – it is so narrow that only a person with with small arms can have a small coffee there!
Upon arrival we realized that the bed base was broke (it’s all IKEA crap in that place) – it took 4 days to fix, and a lot of communication back and forth – wow, a waste of our time in the great city of barcelona. We are not mentioning all the other small irritating issues. Not worth while, and yet, they added to the overall experience of frustration.
If you are looking for something decent and livable and a willing to pay close to 2000 euro for 1 week (seasonal price) – do find something else. If you are looking for something less than basic and don’t plan to stay in the flat too much, do find something else. If ‘clean’ is your only parameter, it’s safe to go.
Needless to say we do not recommend you to book the place – we managed to focus on the one positive element: it’s a great neighborhood! And do go to Barcelona – the city is really worth a visit – staying at “Giorgio”s really isn’t.
