This apartment is in a great location in a beautiful old building and within walking distance of major Barcelona attractions. However, as with several previous reviewers, we did not have the "luxury" stay that we were hoping for. Here's an unbiased review:
Pros:
Location! Right off the main street in Passieg de Gracia was fantastic
Space: three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a patio was a spacious treat
Cons:
Overall shabby upkeep: it was clean, but not really clean
No instructions for anything (except for the wifi password); it seems you need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure things out or find the things you need
No recommendations for restaurants in the area
The beds were only made up with sheets (that had stains on a few) with no blankets (but delivered upon request) and one of the three beds did not have sheets on it (although they were available in the closet so easily remedied)
No extra towels, paper towels, or napkins to use for dining or to clean up a spill
Limited soap and toilet paper
Kitchen towels and laundry soap on request
Significant street noise as well as noise from the construction/renovation of the building next door (all hours it seemed)
Musty or mildew odor coming from mildew heavy washer (all the clothes washed in it will smell)
The dryer worked only intermittently; a clothes drying rack would have been helpful (and usually standard in most European Airbnbs that also have a washer)
In short, we loved the location and historic touches of the building, but we were turned off by the clear lack of care and hospitality. This place could be the luxury accommodations that it advertises (and you pay the high fee for), but it definitely needs work. I hope the owner puts in the time, money, and effort to make it great once again.
