We booked this apartment cause it was relatively cheap and looked clean and comfortable. We were planning to be out all day in Barcelona so we didn't need anything fancy.
I am sad to say that we have unfortunately regretted booking this apartment.
Firstly, the host who checked us in (who was quite kind) didn't know the neighborhood so couldn't provide any useful information for restaurants around.
Secondly, there was several hair on the floor indicating that it was not meticulously cleaned. Same for the bed and the bathroom.
The hosting company owned the whole building and there was construction going on all day long on the floor above us. It was quite annoying having hammers right above your head while trying to relax after long walks around the city.
The host didn't care much about it as we needed to contact them twice and the noise stopped only on the 3rd of our four- night stay.
The bed linen was also not enough with just one quite thin pillow per person and a thin duvet which was definitely not warm enough for December. Our request for a second pillow was never satisfied as they did not get back to us about it.
Last but not least there was not hot water for two of the nights of our stay so we had cold showers.
On the positive side, the location is good as you can use the excellent public transportation just a few meters away from the apartment.
We re both in the hospitality industry and we know that if you need to do serious and noisy construction, you need to stop accepting reservations for this period of time.
In general, I wouldn't recommend this apartment at all. Barcelona is an amazing place and if I had the opportunity to book again, I would choose another place to stay.
Finally, I would avoid airbnb rooms handled by companies, as you miss the whole "like a local" experience which is the core philosophy of Airbnb.
