We loved Barcelona and this place was close to the metro but it wasn’t good for a family of 5, 3 which were older tall teenage boys. 4 maybe or a young family of 5 but it’s small. Not horribly small, but bathroom, elevator lift, and balcony was just not large enough. 8 stories up after a long day when the elevator is busy or can’t take 5 of us made for some extra exercise! Nothing the hosts can do about that so just be conscious if you need the space or have mobility issues. Hosts were really great to deal with but they will need to address some things that are not working properly in the suite. They are so nice I think some guests are afraid so seem upset, but some things need to be fixed. The most critical issue is the electrical system. Outlets that didn’t work, overloaded circuits where cooking with more than 2 pots would trip the circuit, buzzing plugs. There was no fire extinguisher that I could find. I would also have preferred to have a smoke detector and should bring my own when traveling next time.
Not trying to be negative, just helpful. The area was fun, lively and safe. We really enjoyed our stay.
