- Pros:
+ Ben and his housemate are friendly. We arrived later than predicted due to flight delay, but they were waiting for us at home.
+ The flat is on a quiet street and pretty close to the city center (about 25mn walk to Place de Cataluyna).
+ We have a bathroom for ourselves.
+ The restaurants that the host suggested are all very good. We love the seafood place near there - we came back there twice for dinner during our 3 days in Barcelona. Cheap and delicious!

- Cons:
+ When we arrived, we found a cigarette ash tray in our room from the previous people who stayed there. This left a cigarettes odour in the room, and in fact not only our bedroom but the whole flat smells cigarettes and weeds. Not a very pleasant smell if you don't smoke, and much worse if someone is pregnant or with kids. We wish that the host states this clearly in the description.

+ The bathroom (+toilet) is super super small, and smells like dry urine the whole time, no matter how many time we flushed the toilet it still stank and we could even smell it from the bedroom (which is opposite the bathroom).

+ The blanket cover didn't seem like it was washed before we came, or maybe it's just too old.

+ The walls in the house are thin, and our room was next to the living room so some evening the host and his friends hang out and watched TV in the living room very loud. Also we were waken up very early by the noises from the street (the room has view to the main street).

Overall the place seems old, not very clean, and not guest-friendly. A bit overpriced for what it is, but pretty much you pay for the good location. I dreaded going back to this place every night after a long day wandering around the city - something that never happened before in any airbnb places that we stayed.

The actual place is so so different to the photos you see on Airbnb. A big misleading and huge let down. I can still smell the odour of this flat stucking in our clothing days after we left.
