Great location and close to the metro with plenty of food shops and restaurants nearby. We found that the area was quite noisy at night as the apartment is on the corner of two busy avenues. The kitchen facilities weren’t the easiest to use and we couldn’t work the oven so there was a lot of frozen food we had to leave behind. The apartment is in a residential building so there is a noise curfew and we were accused of smoking indoors by the concierge when we certainly hadn’t as non of us are smokers, which was slightly odd and didn’t make us feel very welcome.
You have to pay tourist tax in cash and it is €2.25 per person per night which isn’t included in the price of the air bnb and is only communicated after you’ve booked.
Despite this, the host Orlando is very friendly and attentive. He booked us a cab to the airport on the day we arrived and provided us with an additional key which we had requested. There is a good living space with a large dining table and sofas for everyone and it is a great property to stay in for large groups as a base for visiting Barcelona.
