Ariel and his team made the experience as pleasant as possible. He is a top-notch host.
At checkin - there were fresh fruits on the dining table, two large bottles of water in the fridge, soap in the dispenser, clean towels and sheets. The place was immaculate clean.
You get a free smart phone, a personalized map of the area with recommendations to where to eat and buy supplies.
Washer/dryer work great but if you are from US and are used to simple operations be ready to read instructions and run very small loads.
Shower sports high quality fixtures and the water pressure is excellent, however you'll run out of hot water very fast if you keep it at high.
Location is very quiet and peaceful. We found only two great places to eat within 15 minute walk - everything else was mediocre. Prepare to take metro if you are a foodie.
WiFi is ok - not as fast as I had hoped for.
There are two smart TVs - one in the bedroom and one in the living area. You have access to a Synology home server with an incredible collection of top movie hits. If you have a lazy day - you can be sure to find something to watch.
Roof has an incredible outdoor living area but in the winter it's of limited use so we didn't get to use it at all.
The air conditioning gets disabled during winter time but the Euro style windows provide great options for ventilation. The heating is done via radiant floor heater - it worked great.
Kitchen is fully stocked and has a stove, oven, microwave and a dishwasher. All working great - high quality. There is also a Nespresso machine and few capsules to get you started.
There is an excellent supermarket two blocks away - it closes at 21:30 (9:30pm) and is closed on Sunday's. However if you forget something there is a small neighborhood market right next door that stocks fresh fruits, water and other necessities.
A very nice pastry shop is two blocks away. A CaixaBank is 3-4 blocks away and has 24-7 ATM - they charge 5 euro for US ATM withdrawals plus your bank fees.
