First off, the hosts are extremely nice and communicated very well, so I feel bad even writing anything negative. But I think it is important to be honest for the sake of future guests about our experience. This property was not a comfortable stay for us. It was extremely loud in the unit at all hours of the day and night. We understand that Barcelona is a vibrant city, but the windows and walls are very thin and we had a hard time sleeping. The noises were mostly street traffic, motorcycles, and garbage trucks. There was also very loud construction starting early in the morning in the building. This is not the fault of the host, it is just a very loud building. There isn’t anything they could have done about it. Even though we are a young group, it was too loud for us. As a side note, we also live in a high rise building in a large city, so we’re not sensitive to noise. The shower was also difficult to deal with because there is no shower curtain so water tends to go everywhere. We stayed in several other properties across Spain (also in busy areas) and didn’t have these issues. The hosts were wonderful and communicated very well, but the property itself was not enjoyable.
