Dimitry was very nice and welcomed us with a bottle of champagne when we arrived very late at night. In the dark it was apparent that the apartment building was under construction, but it didn't look like a big deal. The next day it was a very big problem being awakened early by jackhammer noise and a lot of dust in the room. Looking back it's pretty hilarious, but at the time we were worried that our few days in Barcelona were going to be ruined and it was going to be tough getting a place to stay during Semana Santa. Anyway, airbnb stood behind us and the jackhammer only lasted for a day so now we have a funny story to tell.

It looked like it was going to be quite a while before construction is complete.

The apartment does have a washing machine but only a drying rack not a drier as it says on the list of amenities. Other than that the apartment was fine. It was an easy walk to the Metro station and there was a great cafe across the street.
