While we didn't have a bad experience in Barcelona overall, the apartment was filthy and unsafe. The utensils provided in the kitchen had not been cleaned and were covered in mould. The towels provided had black marks on them, and there was a used, bloody plaster stuck to the inside of one towel. The iron had exposed wiring and emitted smoke when turned on. When we raised a complaint about cleanliness the owner provided us with a refund of £75 - given that we had paid £1400 for our stay we weren't overwhelmed with the offer. The only 2 positives of this apartment were that the building was in a central location and the shared pool on the roof was nice.
