AB Apartment Barcelona made check-in and check-out easy for my family and I. We arrived early for check-in and were able to store our luggage at the office comfortably while we explored the streets and ate lunch. When it was time to pick up the keys, I had won tickets to Flamenco during a raffle that I had no idea about. It was a pleasant surprise!

The apartment was a fifteen minute taxi ride from the office. It was nice and tidy. There is only one air conditioner and one fan in the apartment, which mainly cooled the living area and not the bedrooms so much. We were slightly disappointed with the inaccuracy of the rooms compared to the photos regarding size, but it worked out for us.

The apartment had everything we needed. There is a washer and several clotheslines out of the window in one of the bedrooms. The location of this place is great too. We were pleased to have all the cooking utensils, pots and pans available to us since we love to cook together. A large fridge made it great as well. A block away from the metro, tons of cafe/bars around, and a lot of markets nearby. And the beach is so close!

The only problem we encountered was the water heater. We did not take more than seven minute showers, and the water heater would stop working after what it seemed to be five minutes at a time. When we contacted the host, they had said they would send a technician over to take a look without stating a time. It felt frustrating at the time, but luckily for us--my dad is a handy-man and he solved the issue.

This apartment served my family well and we are grateful, but I'm not so sure we would stay here again. I feel like it would be more suited for a younger group of people, like university aged.
